Three of the four rear bulbs are 12v 5w. The part number is universally known as a 207.

The fourth bulb, which is the lower right, or offside is a twin filament, known as a 566, a 21/5w. This bulb is also your rear fog lamp.

Good brands to use are Osram, Bosch, Phillips and Ring.

Don't buy cheap, unbranded bulbs unless you really want to change them on a weekly basis.

When you remove the bulbholder mark it so you can refit it the same way round. You will see what I mean when you're looking at it and can't remember which way was up!

'Genuine' Volvo bulbs are either Phillips or Osram BTW.

IMHO buying bulbs from the dealer is only lining the dealer's pocket.

YMMV

Just returned a pair of Led reverse bulbs ( Ebay seller ) as it was a difference of seeing or not seeing. Nice blue but crap
