When you say 'info centre', do you mean the main instrument panel (speedo etc)? The 'info centre' knob/module thingy doesn't light up does it? it's just a knob and a reset button...

I am not sure not changed any of these yet but they might be the grain of rice bulbs as that is how big they are but I am guessing.

Alex should know when he comes online

Phase 1 or 2?

I got bored and went looking anyway

, despite being different switches on Phase 1 or 2, looks like it's the same bulb - p/n 9139568 1.2W.

The Volvo bulb with holder is ridiculously expensive though, if you want to just replace the bulb, you need to buy a 12V 3mm grain of wheat/rice bulb and fit into your existing holder. Available on eBay (search "12v 3mm grain bulb") or model railway shops.

Get them with the bare metal legs, these just twist into the holder. Problem with the model railway ones is they tend to be pre-wired, those can't be put in the holder (unless you can remove the heatshrink from the metal legs and cut off the pre-wire

).
