Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - Interior Bulb Upgrade, Possible?.........

Hi all,

I was looking to upgrade the interior lighting to LED bulbs as it brightens up the interior.

After sourcing some replacement 501 type LED bulbs off ebay ive just found out that the Volvo interior bulbs are mated to the bulb holders. Even removing the bulb and replacing with the LED wont work as the connector points/wires are in the wrong place.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

Is it possible to buy bulb holders only which would accept a standard 501 type bulb?

I cant see any online and im now wondering if this is even possible on a 2008 V70.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Kev
