Default Dash bulbs

The bulbs that light up the clock and thermometer went out (in a 2002 s80 by the way). Does anyone know the part # for those bulbs as well as the most affordable place to buy them? I would kind of like to replace all the dash bulbs so I'm not constantly having to take the instrument cluster out to replace them one at a time. To do that I need to get the best purchase price possible as buying that many at stealership prices would just about kill me.

Several people have converted over to LEDs, that would be the option with least replacements. S80s aren't that hard to change bulbs in the cluster - really. Volvos - in my experience - tend to eat bulbs every where, I just pay the dealer, but I swing by there every few months anyway for some part or another.

OK, I ended up using Sylvania 74 bulbs. They worked great. They matched the brightness of the factory bulbs perfectly. $2 a bulb is a lot better than the $13 the stealership wanted.
