Welcome to the S-Car family!
Where are you in the midwest?

Here's a writeup with pictures of the bulb for replacement.
You get the bulb from Radio Shack and the writeup covers taking
the temp display out of the dashboard and unsoldering / resoldering
the replacement bulb into the display.

Radio Shack has a package of two bulbs, # 272-1092, for about $1.60.
There are pictures of the package and the bulb on the web page.
