Instrument cluster bulb replacement 200 1989

In 1988, Volvo switched the two bulbs that illuminate the instrument cluster to 3w halogen socketed bulbs. I've checked with local salvage yards for clusters, but unfortunately all 240s I run across are 1987 and earlier.

Does anyone have a source for a replacement bulb w/socket? I had a spare but it was burnt out. I, unsuccessfully, tried separating the bulb from the socket on the newer bulb-style with the hope to "drop in" a replacement bulb.

iPD doesn't have them and the local dealer wants an unbelivable $13! If anyone has a good spare that he is willing to trade for some odds and ends, please email me. Or, if you happen to know of a source to purchase one, please reply back here!
