99 Navigator A/C Panel Bulbs

[smwalker]

Have any of you had to replace these bulbs yet on you Navigators? These are the ones that light up the buttons on the A/C control panel buttons. there are about 6 of them.

I have had 3 failed attemps by my dealer to get the right bulb (at about $6.00 a piece)

I have gleened from research they are called Neo Wedge Bulbs and are usually used on printed circuit boards. I have been unable to find any vedor the sell them in small quantities (Usually 1000 min order). And sizing them is another issue as they go not by bulb numbers but rather by MM measurements of about 5 aspects of the bulb. Then there is 6, 12, 24 volt. Brightness levels and on and on!!

If any of you have a source for these please let me know!!

Thanks!!
