DIY Console light replacements by Photog
I just pulled the bulb from one of my switches, and it is the 8mm Type A. It is a variable voltage circuit up to 14 volts. The bulb is a T-1 (3mm) incandescent lamp, with wire terminals, designed for 14 volts (the bulbs can be purchaed for 5, 6, 12, 14, or 28 volts. You need the 12 or 14 volt models) The wire contacts are part of the bulb, and have to be unwrapped from the socket. The bulb comes out of the socket. The bulb has a tiny colored condom (filter boot) on it, that could be moved to the replacement bulb. Buy parts here also: http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category/320/Lamps.html
Here is an explanation of how to replace the T-1 bulb, in the Neo-Wedge holder.
1) Remove the Neo-Wedge from its mounting location. Notice the little wires wrapped around the plastic.

4) Remove the filter boot from the bulb, using you fingernail to push up from the back edge of the boot.

5) Now trim the wires on the new bulb, to match the old bulb, slide the boot onto the new bulb, and insert the wires through the Neo-Wedge holder.
