What bulbs in the keyhole lights?

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

What bulbs in the keyhole lights?

Post by Van » Mon Nov 14, 2011 5:57 pm

I think there was a topic about it but I can't find it back. Before I take apart the door inside, what kind of bulbs are used for the keyhole lights? Anything regular or something special that may not be obtained from Volvo anymore and have to find solution for?

It is as you call it "something special" - the wiring diagrams indicate a LED with some electronics, so no bulb to replace
