Instrument and Accessory switch light source??? 850

My wife's '94 and my '95 850 have some instrument and accessory switch (defrost, sunroof etc) lights that are out. I know on her's with the old style switches the lights are not meant to be replaced. I figured that out a few years back. But on mine, the '95 with the newer style switches, they are replaceable. Any idea where I can get them, other than the dealer?

Also, we both have some lights out so you can't read all the instruments. Her tach is totally dark at night and my clock/temp display light is out. Do both years take the same light? Are they the same as what does in the switches? Where can I get those? Are they a pain in the butt to replace? OK, the last question was dumb, I admit.

Any input appreciated,

Ben

    Look around on www.matthewsvolvosite.com and you will see a write-up in the data base for the bulbs, etc. Actually honda bulbs are cheap and easily obtainable and will also fit our cars.
