Digi-key, New Ark, Moser and such all sell tiny "grain of wheat" bulbs,
12v 80 to 120ma. Radio Shock sells them too. Remove the burned ones
outta dash and clip off the bulb terminals, welded to the bronze contact
leafs of their respective plastic housing. Carefully solder the new ones
in and voila! you have the new ones at a cost of several pennies ea.
