If you look closely, the shift and ashtray light bulbs are 14V so they don't burn out so easily. I couldn't find any good replacements on the market so I had to kill my wallet and shop at the dealer. Yep, those crooks charged $10 each!

The micro bulbs I bought at RadioShack (#7219 and in a drawer with 2 bulbs per package) are 12V and get inserted into the bulb holder - no soldering. They have long wire leads that wrap around the plastic holder base and cut to length. I used the micro bulbs for the instrument cluster, all of the switch lights, etc.
