Hi all
I just replaced all the control panel light bulbs( 12V 1.2W W 2x4.6d with integrated holder ) with LEDs. While this suffices for now I feel that the LED lighting is not too bright so I want to switch back to 1.2W bulbs without paying $10+ a piece to the volvo dealer. My question is has anyone been able to find a bulb + detachable holder to be able to plug into these points ? That way if the bulb goes it alone can be replaced instead of the holder too. I was thinking of using the Sylvania 2721 bulbs( used in the instrument cluster ) but couldnt find a suitable base for that bulb. Although I have experience in soldering I would prefer not to solder the bulb onto a base. Any ideas ?

Thanks
