Default light bulbs behind radio buttons

Can those be changed without creating a new federal pork-barrel spending program?

Here is a thread on how Midnight F-117A replaced the blown bulbs in his Monsoon headunit with LEDs:

Radio Shack part number for the bulb is 272-1154. $1.49 each.

if you look up the part number on Radio Shacks website you'll even see 3 reviews where people used them specifically for GM radios.

Not to thread hijack, but what about the ones for the steering wheel mounted radio controls? My right side ones are burned out.

You can use LEDs if you want.
