Thanks for the help guys! The bulb list has kinda confused me a little. The bulbs from a 2002 are going to fit a 1998?

And (http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com) is showing US prices. Has anyone shopped there? Whats the delivery like? And are there any other online volvo shops?
I have had a look at the bulb list gatos provided and not all the bulbs are the same as i have a 97 - r reg s40.
If you go to http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk they will tell you the correct bulb for your car, i then purchased mine off ebay.

I changed my tail lights, front side lights (not the ones in the bumper) and number plate bulbs for led's all relatively cheap off ebay.

Nice, as to mileage, just run in! I sold my old 1.8 with 212,000 you wouldn't have known . Gear change got a bit vague but new bushes fixed that.

Hi LAF86

Welcome to the forum!

There is a button to click, which changes the currency from USD to GBP.
