instrument panel bulbs

[dcm0123]

Need to replace some of the smaller bulbs used for indicators such as anti-lock brake, check engine etc.
The panel illumination bulb for the gauges is a 161 or 194 (both same size).
The indicator bulbs are smaller and I have not been able to find the number. I tried to pull the bulb out of the small plastic socket and the bulb would not come out.
One of the forums mentioned 2182 bulb which is a bulb with 2 wires coming out of it- not what I was expecting.
Has anyone replaced these in the past? What bulb did you use?

Appears to be a 286 bulb. This is what the base looks like.



Tried to extract it with a pair of crimping pliers by gently twisting it. One thing it for sure, those little fuckers explode.

Thank you for the pictures- was it soldered in or just pushed into the socket?

Anytime. It is a push in type. I’d use a pair of needle nose pliers and just yank it out by the filament after it breaks.

Do you know the parts number of the bulb?
I can not find it at Rock Auto or online.
