Car Forum / Volvo Cars / January 2008'97 850 Headlight Hi-beam Warning Light.
Hi, Any thoughts on how to replace the headlight hi-beam warning light on a '97 850? Please..... be polite, no bad language.... I've checked my Haynes Manual re the dash, and I'm not impressed! Andy I. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Andy I. Are you referring to the blue light in the instrument cluster or something else ?? Glenn K  Signature" Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new" -- Albert Einstein Thanks for your reply, Glenn. Hard to answer your question............. I've just acquired this vehicle and "haven't seen the light", yet. According to the picture in the Owner's Manual, it is located in the cluster of warning lights below the fuel and temperature gauges. It's the last one in the top row. It should come on when the headlights are switched to high beam.

The other bulbs you will need are (4) Bayonet 5Watt bulbs & either (2) or (4) depending on if there is a trip computer in the car your local dealer should have all the bulbs in stock for purchase.

All that, to replace a light bulb! Thanks anyway...... Andy I.

Yes please Glenn. Send me the good news about the six screws. Maybe I should incinerate that Haynes manual (or get new trifocals.....).
