go to ebay and do a search for "194 LED bulb" you'll get lots. Get the ones that are wedge design. Meaning they have 5 bulbs, 1 in each corner and 1 in the middle , that way the lights shines evenly

For the cluster you need 5 bulbs. good ones should be no more than $6 each. Trust me that all the more expensive places are getting them from the same place I originally told you.
