You acually need the sockets, Ive got a toolbox full of them. They take standard 161 or 194 wedge bulbs which can be found at most hardware stores, auto parts stores, even Wally World. I can send you some sockets, or if you can get your hands on an old instrument cluster from a car, they have the same sockets you need (and acually, I'm betting the auto parts store also has them).
 
I have an full upright in the garage but have not really looked inside to see if it has something similar. As such, I don't know what the physical size of the "locks" are. When I say lock I mean the lamp holder that twists into the hole like 4 at the top of the pic. Remove 1 of the other 4 (1/4 turn to the left I bet) and look at the bulb. Most likely some sort of wedge based bulb. Look at the manual for the right bulb regardless. You don't know what someone may have stuck in there. Many bulbs have the same base but have different characteristics.

As to the lock, or base, or whatever the tech term is. Those look like the same sort of fixture used to hold dash lights in a myriad of cars and trucks. I have even seen them in motorcycle and ATV instrument clusters. I would take one to an auto parts store and look through the Help section. I bet you will find something that will fit. Beyond that I would to a NAPA. If you find someone that knows what they are doing NAPAs generally have large 3 ring binders with various small parts nicely organized and plastic encased on each page. That way folks can flip through and match up a part. I use the one for plastic body rivets and plastic interior "hardware" all the time. They may have something similar to match up the various dash board bulb bases. I have a NAPA warehouse close by...I assume a local store would have the same sales accessories.
 
Thanks for the quick feedback, guys. welove80s - if you have some of the sockets I'd be happy to buy four of them from you. Incoming PM!
