[V8] instrument light source?

Need a few instrument lights - one 2 watt white base, four 1.2 watt black base.

These are NOT the same base size bulb as used in the 5000/100/200 
instrument cluster.

I had an earlier cluster and for a few happy moments, I actually thought I 
had the parts I needed . . .

The correct bulbs have a thinner bulb carrier shoulder (smaller O.D.) where 
they fit through the PC board.

I'm wondering if FLAPS has these - Autozone lists them online at $2.29, 
some other online sources list them at 69 cents - this is for the white 
base 2 watt bulb.

Haven't found the 1.2 watt black base bulb yet - the online pix is of the 
earlier, wide-shoulder carrier for the bulb.

Nearest dealer is far, far away, and I'd rather go aftermarket anyway - 
these are Sylvania/Osram bulbs, so I see no reason to pay $6.49 list for 
them (yes, really!) at the stealership.

Best Regards,

Mike Arman
