Dealer wanted too much, $8 each, what an outrage!
Found suitable bulbs at Radio Shack for $1.29 part #272 1141. Easy to install by feeding the leads into the bulb holders and soldering.

Also replaced some radio and dash switch bulbs with Radio Shack #272 1092, 2 for $1.49. Dealer said radio bulbs could not be replaced and only solution offered was to trade in old radio for a "reconditioned" one. Did not even ask the cost. Replacing the radio bulbs takes about 15 minutes, switch bulbs even less.

This confirms my position that we should really stay away from the dealers except for recall or warranty issues.
