Honda has them (cheap)...will they fit yours? V70-XC70 2000

I changed them in my '98 S70 (radio is SC-816, but all of these SC radios are suppose to be the same). Do you know what the bulbs in yours looks like? If they are the same as what's in my S70, then you're in luck...cheap too!

There is a writ-up on how to do this as well as where to buy the bulbs here:

Below are pictures of the bulbs I used and the old bulbs. The black ones on the right are old...the grey are new (Honda). The blue bulbs are just blue rubber sleeves you put over the bulbs.

Hey!! That's great, yes mine are the seem(black once). I had them all out yesterday and could not find new once, so put it all back together again.
I also bought a new Honda Accord this summer, so it's good to know that they will interchange
Thank You!!
