This is a PCB made to fit the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster to replace the traditional filament bulb with LED retro illumination. It is compatible with Volvo S60, S80, V70, XC70 and XC90 from 1998 to 2005.

The gauge dials are being sold as a kit, meaning, the buyer will have to do soldering and component assembly, and there's also the option of fully assembled and ready to be installed on the buyer's dashboard dials. Don't forget to view the LED add-on for the rear back doors.
