Does anyone know if there are aftermarket light bulbs available for the climate control unit on a 2001 S80? The local Volvo dealer wants $12 each for these little buggers!!! And I need 4 of them! I have searched/called numerous Volvo parts websites to no avail.

There are 6 of them that are recessed into the back of the climate control unit. They are removed by turning the slot in the base with a small screwdriver 1/4 turn. The bulbs are attached to a little plastic base. Four of them have a "gray" base and the other two have a "white" base. I need the four gray ones. There does not appear to be a way to seperate the bulb from the plastic base (I tried) -- it is one unit.

The bulbs also have a teeny-weeny little blue plastic sleeve on them, presumably to dim them a bit. The bulb and base is 1/2 inch long, measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the bulb.

Any help greatly appreciated.
