Yes, I'm very curious about the same thing.

My 1998 V70 has the computer which displays time and temperature. The temp sensor is indeed mounted up in the front air dam/bumper/plastic thing.

I would love to get the other advanced functions of the 'good' trip computer like the instantaneous fuel econ numbers, etc. I dearly hope they are plug and play, and I can get all that techy (and eco) goodness for relatively cheap by going for one of these parts kits from ebay.

I will agree with replacing the bulbs - I've never had my cluster out before but I figure every time you take something like that out you're risking breaking tabs and messing with the 'fit', and you may as well do the bulbs while you're in there. What's a few $10s in bulbs really? they should last a long time once they are changed.
