Actually you can buy the Draper Volvo reset tool on ebay. I bought mine for about $60 shipped. If you don't want to take the bulb out or live with a light one, do a search on ebay for "Volvo Draper" and you'll find some. Somehow they're all from England, so be prepared for some time before it gets to you.

ACTUALLY...

There's a way to do it for free...i can't find it right now but it has something to do with turning the car off, pushing the reset button (which one i forget) turning the ignition on, and releasing after 14 seconds...


i don't know if this works on 98 because i found it while searching through 1999...

'98 70 series is the same as '96 - '97 850 ... you need the tool to reset the light. Another alternative is the Alex Peper OBD-2 reader.

I eventually pulled my lights.

Ok you lot, unsure if this works with pre obd2 but definately does with obd2:-

ign off
press+hold trip button
ignition on
keep button pressed for 10 sec
service light should flash
within 4 secs release button

That will be $150 each please LOL

That method will only work for the MY99-02 cars IIRC, the 96-98 requires the tool.
