Default Identity and source for tiny bulbs

The controls for the heated seats in my SAAB each contain two tiny
bulbs. They appear to be filament rather than solid state and have a
coloured silcone cover. Each bulb is mounted on a removable carrier.
I've put a couple of very poor (sorry macro photography is not my forte)
pictures he http://richard2808.fotopic.net/c1050691.html

Suggestions as to source of replacements would be much appreciated.
New switches are prohibitively expensive.

TIA

Model shop - tiny bulbs are used in model trains. (also look at Maplin)
They are also common in car stereos - a repair shop will probably have a selection in stock.
www.cpc.co.uk probably do them as they supply repair shops, but their website is a pain to find
stuff on..!
