Although many owners feel that Volvo dealers will not offer them either reasonable service or prices, often it is quite surprising how cheap parts can be from Volvo compared with less reliable parts from third party suppliers. In your position I'd go to a Volvo Dealer with the VIN for your car and ask them which bulb they would supply, what its part number is and how much it is. You may be pleasantly surprised and even if they are not the cheapest, bulbs are hardly that expensive anyway.

Everything in a blue volvo box costs twice as much as exactly the same part in a Ford box 🤣

Everything in a ford box costs twice as much as the same part from autodoc/amazon etc 🤣

I got a reverse light bulb for my XC70 from Volvo, and it was £25, so I won't make that mistake again 🤣
