I want to thankeveryone who posted about changing these bulbs. I have a 1999 S70 T5 and I changed my radio bulbs last night. It went very smoothand I had no problems.

I posted some pics over in the S70 forum.

Bump !
Just replaced bulbs in my radio SC-815. Easy job to do, used Radio shack micro lamp #7219. There is no need for soldering, wires wrap around sockets. To remove old bulb from socket I used nail clippers to cut its wires and bulb come right out.
$ 4.5 for 6 bulbs (need 5), 30 minutes

 

Lucky! mine done that too, along with some of my accessory lights. Such as, Sunroof. headlights and that. They don't light up like they should, or do they not illuminate?

 

I did not see any deference, I reused old blue condoms.
Also today fixed AC control light. Used #73 light bulb from Checker auto parts. It isn't perfect fit and needs to be soldered. In a process piece of socket broke off but I made it work. After all this trouble with socket I found that this BMW P/N 62111391260 bulb is direct replacement so ordered 3 of those

 

Why would you go to BMW instead of Volvo? Just wondering. Doesn't really matter to me bacause my Volvo stealer also deals with BMW's.

 

I was looking into OEM bulbs but couldn't find anything. Then I read somewhere that this BMW bulb is direct replacement. BTW I haven't put them in yet, eight monts past and my fix with #73 bulb still works

 

Are you telling me that you can NOT get the bulbs from Volvo?

 

Not online, I could not find Volvo bulb but was told that is same bulb( BMW P/N 62111391260 ) Dealership is on the other side of the town (a 30 min drive one way) and they charge arm and leg for the bulbs.
Maybe I didn't put enough effort into research but it is just bulb... LOL
