The Vanagon dash/shifter lights are oddballs.  They are not just bulbs, but
come attached to their plastic sockets.  The shifter lights have different
sockets than the dash lights.  I was able to get the dash lights from NAPA,
but not the shifter lights.  I suppose I could just find a 12v LED and try
to solder it in the socket somehow.  Or, I could just spend the $$$ and put
my time into something else.

What type of bulb does the stock light use?  is that available in LED?  I
have gotten a lot of different LEDs direct from china via ebay or direct
from vendors like banggood.com.
