Generic Panel Lights? 120-130 1968

Wondering if anyone knows where to find some generic panel lights, not the bulb, but the whole bulb assembly. I'm wanting something with an off-the-shels replacement bulb.

I reworked a 1979 dash clock into my 122 but I have so far been unable to light it.


Same trouble for my 240-style 2" tachometer (in a smiths pod)

I've had no luck at any of the auto-parts stores I've tried, and I'm not sure if sticking original 120-series bulb holders in would work okay even if I enlarged the holes.

Both the tach and the clock use 240-specific bulbs, and in the case of the clock, the holders are quite weird and would require a lot of soldering to get to work.

Another issue is that the 240 lights are usually bluish and the 120 lights are greenish. Any tips on getting the right "look" for these accessories?

Thanks as always. I'm taking a brief mental break from my more pressing electrical/mechanical problems...
