If you can solder you can get those bulbs from Radio Shack / Frys....or install LED/resistors instead.Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

The buttons are lit using a standard black base 2721MF twist-in 1.2W lamp -- the same as on the instrument cluster. The lamp is wired directly to the dimmer circuit and thus only turns on with the other lighting.
The light bar only illuminates the LCD panel. It's controlled with a simple internal circuit so that it's at full brightness when the headlights are off, yet drops in brightness and dims with headlight switch.
Substituting LEDs and a resistor will result in dimming that doesn't match the rest of the lamps. After a bunch of tests, I found that the Radio Shack 6V lamps were the best replacement.
