'94 850 climate control knobs/air flow knob LIGHTS! 850 1994

I just replaced a bunch of bulbs in our ⏪ 850, instrument cluster, misc interior, etc. but absolutely cannot find the 2 light/socket assemblies that go behind the 2 climate control and air flow switches, on the dash located above the stereo. There's only 2 of them, and they plug into a small circuit board. They are hardwired bulbs in a little white socket. Anyone know where to get these besides a dealer?
I have the sockets, is it practical to put my own bulbs in from RadioShack?

BTW, I saw that the instrument cluster bulbs where $2.50 for 2 at Advance auto parts (the larger bulbs, there's 4 of them), but I found them at a local mom/pop for .50 cents each! Misering is so much fun when I get the chance to do so...having this 850 and an old Saab 900, I'm always looking for a bargain when it comes to bulbs, plastic parts, etc.
BTW I needed a window motor for the 850, found one with the gear mechanism attached, new was $300 and used was $150. I went to Pull-A-Part here in Atlanta where I get my Saab parts, and got one for $14.20...nice. It was about all that was left on that ONE 850 that they had.
Any help appreciated!
cheers
