I remember the dash light on our Volvo 740 died upon me two times. First
time it was just a fuse, that was coupled with some other stuff. Easy to
find. The other time, one of the lights died and it got completely dark.
We had to remove the whole shebang before I could get the lights out of
there. That's when I found out that they were soldered...
