Default DIC Control Button backlight bulbs? Replacements?

Forum Gods -

I have a 2006 C6 vert. I have one micro bulb out on my interior trunk latch switch, and 5 of the 9 bulbs in my DIC control button clusters are out. None of my LAP stores have even listings for any of these bulbs. Are these available anywhere? Or do we have to purchase the printed circuit boards from the dealer complete?

Apparently Amazon has them, #7219. See posts #5 and #9 in here:

Yep, standard 7219's to solder back in, and do not do LED bulbs!!!!

The LED bulbs can cause too much RF noise and it can block the Fob signal to the RCDLR.

Thanks Dano - I ordered incandescent replacements. Also thought that the LEDs might not dim properly.
