Actually, they were both out. I got the wrong bulb when ordering from FCPGroton and IPD. On the third try, I was more insistent with IPD and they found the right one for $6.50. They call it "Bulb Dash Long Base," part no. 1363149. FCP now has it as well, their part number (same as "OEM") 30710781 for about the same price.

For the more intrepid, auto parts stores have 1.5 watt miniature bulbs that look like they should work, if you don't mind yanking out the old bulb and drilling holes in the plastic base of the mount (the bulbs are hard-wired into the plastic base). I may try that for the lighter that I never use, but it'll be nice to have that little green ring glowing again!
