I'm unsure that you can buy the exact identical bulb from anywhere other than Volvo, however, despite being ever so slightly shorter in length, the ones that fit the headlight panel for the illumination do it, and they are Lucas llb286tfb1, or ring automotive R509TDBK, you can indeed get led units but because of the bulbs very small size you can only get one that has a single cob or smd on, meaning that light only faces forwards, meaning that the light output is very patchy, but if you fancy going down the led route anyway you need t4.2 neo wedge bulbs.
