    nice little mod on my V70R clocks...........

    as above i swapped the standard bulbs for led blue bulbs which cost me less than £10 on ebay, i had previously installed standard blue bulbs but found they didnt illuminate the dash very well, the leds are much better, i also used blue leds for the indicators, mileage and trip computer display, i removed the last 2 as they were too bright and showing thro.

    also as a side note my car didnt have the trip computer or cruise control as standard, however since fitting these clocks i now have both with no software downloaded, so it looks like all you need on the ME7 models is the clocks and stalk to get cruise control and the clocks and button for the trip computer, a lot cheaper than the £500 quoted by volvo to have the software installed!!!!!!

    It does look nice, worth a thought if you need to replace bulbs anyway.

    just a little tip if any of you guys are going to do this, if the bulbs dont work when fitted turn them round and they will work
