Default CEL, High Beam etc indicator, gage cluster bulbs

I need a bulb for my 98 C5 gage cluster...its definitely the bulb as Ive switched them around to test..my issue is...I went to a local dealer here and he says there is no part number for any of the bulbs in the cluster and that the whole cluster needs to be sent in as they are not servicable....well they are because I did it they are in little sockets that twist out of the circuit board...does anyone know of a part number or where I can get them etc etc.....please advise...

Unfortunatley Gene had the same answer as the local dealer here in NY...sooooo..I went to a local auto parts store...complained that not even Chevy dealers know the part number for the bulbs in the cluster..he says "oh thats simple its a 74"...he shows me the bulb and BOOM..its the right one...so....the cluster bulbs are GE bulb part # 74...at least for the 98 C5...I just put it in this morn....works like a charm...
