Hello I'm new to the forum - I'm the proud owner of a Volvo 850 T5 Estate 1996, and I'm gonna upgrade my headlight bulbs - but the car I bought did not come with the owners manual, so I bought a Haynes Manual and the bulb sizes are not listed and I cannot find them anywhere! Please can you help me - I need the Light Bulb sizes for the following :- SIDELIGHTS = ? DIPPED BEAM = ? MAIN/HIGH BEAM = ? FOG LIGHTS = ? Much apprpeciated if you can help me, thanks :thumbs_up: Rex

Hiya, I recently replaced the sidelights on my '97 850R with these: It's listed as a R5W (1156/207). HTH, Pete

Hi there, Could I just double check this? I have looked on a few sites and the headlamp bulbs listed for an 850 were H4s (472), that was even listed in the Lucas Bulbs catalogue. Are these bulbs wrong? Should I be looking for H1s? If so, is it right I need 4 of them? Cheers, Duncan.
