What type of bulb illuminates the 'time & temperature' display 850 1996

There are 2 bulbs for the 'computer - time/date' display. Both are the "rice" grain bulbs which I used to buy at radio shack. They are inserted into a bulb holder, which is then inserted into the hole and given a 1/4 twist.

The actual power supply from your battery can be up to 14.5V if you turn the display to full brightness, but the bulbs are rated at 12V. You see the problem?

This is the bulb you want: a T-1 12V .06A, #7219

Radio shack used to have them, but Radio Shack is gone...
BTW, the copper leads are cut to size as they are much too long.
