The originals are small incandescent "grain of wheat" bulbs with blue silicone caps - you can replace them like for like, or upgrade to LED'S.
A forumite is selling incandescent replacements in the following thread (I've bought some and was pleased with the product and service) - if you read through the thread there also links to some guides and further info: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=216733 Alternatively you could put on your loosest fitting trousers and take a trip to your nearest main dealer...

V40alex is your man. I bought a complete set of led bulbs, for the price of what one main dealer bulb would cost!
Easy to fit as well Pm him, you won't regret it.

bulbs you need are 286tac t5 you will only need two bulbs for the
phase 1heater these are cheap on ebay. the blue rubber cap that's fitted to the volvo original ones can easily be removed and refitted to new bulbs i found that they came off easily.

I'm planning to replace the heater panel and headlight panel bulbs on a 1998 v40. Are these the right bulbs?. Thanks

BTW, I only have incandescent bulbs for the Phase 2. I did look at getting some for the Phase 1 but as steakpie said, 286TAC T5 are the ones and they are cheap already - £2.79 posted for a set of 2 here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286TAC-12v...-/252124628730 (not my listing, no experience of seller )

i can confirm the seller v40alex suggested on ebay is ok i bought my replacement
bulbs from him and arrived next day. alternatively if you are after smd led etc for the phase 1 try b8.5d t5 the heater panel bulb fittings are only standard instrument cluster fittings.
