The bulb type should be listed in your owner's manual (you did keep it, didn't you?)
Volvos normally use halogen bulbs which must be handled very carefully. Wear clean rubber or cloth gloves since any skin oil that gets on the bulb glass can cause it to shatter when it reaches operating temperature.
Open the hood/bonnet and look in each front corner of the engine compartment. There should be a plastic holder for the bulb, accessible from the rear of the lamp cover. Pull off the power connector and release the metal spring that holds the bulb in place. Carefully remove the old bulb and set it aside somewhere safe so it won't fall and shatter. Take the new bulb (while you're wearing those gloves, of course) and put it into the holder. There should be little detents that align it correctly in the holder. Compress the metal spring and put it into place, then reinstall the power connector.
Aside from the fact that halogen bulbs are very finicky about being handled, the job is actually pretty easy.

∙ 14y agoThere are two holes in the surround in front of the cluster. Push a small screwdriver very hard into a slot, whilst pulling on the shaft of the screwdriver. This will pop the surround out on one side, then do the other.
Once the surround is off, take off 4 torx screws, and remove. Be careful to label connections before taking them off!

It's a real pain to replace! The bulbs can be purchased at just about any auto parts store, but you have to completely remove the dash in order to access and replace the bulbs. It's a common problem (and a terrible design...)
