Lights on seat heater buttons S70 1998

Is there an easy way to replace the light bulbs that illuminate the seat heater buttons, or do you have to remove the center consolt to get at them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Aaron

It's pretty easy, the switch pulls right out (may use a small screwdriver to pry it) unplug it from the harness, and you remove and replace the lamp. You'll need a small screwdriver to remove the lamp also. I looked around and the only place I found to buy the lamps was at the volvo dealer, and there were pricey, I think about $6 ea.

15 minutes later and my buttons were illuminated again! i had left over bulbs from my radio repair $1.50 a pair at Radio Shack! Thanks again for saving me a big headache.

Bring the bulb to a decent parts store... I think they're available in pairs for $2.

Thanks for the help. I will try it this weekend. I just got done replacing two of the lights in the radio, with help from Brickboard postings, it was very easy and I can finally see my buttons at night!
