Default Dash bulbs

Anyone know where I can get the correct bulbs for the dash of my S80 (55plate)
More specifically the heater/air con panel ?
I’m not looking to go down the led route but half the bulbs on mine aren’t currently working
Also the switches on the lower panel namely the mirror folding and alarm full guard etc which are similar bulbs but smaller?
Many thanks in advance
Regards
Chris

12V grain-of-wheat bulbs, available at good electronics stores like Maplins

Thanks buddy but the ones I’m after look more like T3/T4
Twist and lock with a smallish slotted screwdriver type of thing

I used grain of wheat bulbs. Remove old ones from plastic base and replace. Much cheaper than getting Volvo ones.

For anyone needing to know the bulbs in the climate control unit in this case turned out to be T4.2
