Well, I decided to give the Radio Shack microbulbs a try.
Part no. 272-1092 $1.50 for a package of 2 bulbs.
Here's some info off the package...
Rated voltage 12V; Rated current 60mA; Lamp type 7219; Bulb type T-1; Base size and style 1-inch wire terminals; Brightness 0.15 MSCP; Average life hours 10,000.
I ground off the bulb-wire pigtails from the bulb holder and removed the bulb.
Slid in the new bulb and wire pigtails and soldered to the existing spade connectors in the existing holder. Took probably about an hour to replace the bulbs in the holders. Maybe another hour to remove/replace the console.
So now I have all the console lights working. I realize 14v lamps would probably be better, but I can always change them in the future now that I know how to do this. We'll see how long they last.
