Default Changing dash lights

My headlight switch broke so I figured while I'm in the process of changing out that, I would change out my 11 year old dash lights before they can burn out. I already have the dash pad pulled up without breaking it (THANK GOD!!) and I have everything apart. Just wondering what brand would work? I went by the auto supply stores and all they have are some crappy brand of lights that I honestly wouldn't think would last a year. Should I just go to the dealership and buy them there? I don't want to do LEDs because of the dark spots and the lack of adjustability. Plus I really don't have the time to wait for them to arrive. Thanks!

I still suggest you use LEDs. There's no way you'll be able to regret them. They'll last your whole lifetime and in our cars they really don't have any hot spots...
