Light Bulbs - A/C control, Door panel, IP cluster?

What are you guys doing for these bulbs, specifically the A/C control head, and the door panel? I work for GM parts, and the ****'s discontinued. Can't get 'em no more.

Anyone have an alternative or LED bulb solution that's plug & play?

Ac/heater controls is two #74 as well as the door switches, although I don't recommend leds in the factory door holders. They don't shine properly and one will be brighter. I removed the mounting on the back of them and mounted a single 5mm component in each. Ac/heater is fine with leds.

I got lucky at the junk yard and managed to find a few HVAC head light harnesses with good bulbs! It was a small victory, but a sweet score for me, and I can finally tell what my vent is set on!

You could have bought a pair of Sylvania #74 bulbs at AutoZone for $4.99, even cheaper online (pack of 20 for $8.99). So I'm curious... why go to the trouble of scrounging at the junk yard?
