pick your brains volvo nuts 700 1989

I need to replace the lights in the dash of the car as most are burnt out.

From the light control switch to the fan control switch, all do not work...However, the air directional and temperature swithces all light up fine, as do the speedo /tach/ fuelgage/oil/temp/and the radio.

1) is it the bulbs behind the instruments in dash which need repalcing or am I looking at more serious problems?

2) Is it easily repairable - to do myself?

3) does anyone know how to replace the bulbs- dismantling dash to reach the bulbs?

I also feel a slight shudder beneath the car as I start to drive from a stopped position. I was thinking it might be the driveshaft, but a non-volvo mechanic said the shaft and joints are fine ( I checked the hanger bracket and it has some play), but he said it was normal to have this 'play'. Any suggestions?

How do I get to the amp in dash behind glove compartment?

that's all for now!
