Martin -

The bulbs are just type 53 (14.4V @ 0.12A) and are available from most 
of the usual suppliers.

Mouser shows 606-CM53, Chicago Miniature CM53.    Other mfr's will have 
different letters, i.e., GE53 for a General Electric bulb.

It is unusual for both to fail together like that, you might want to 
check your 13.6V supply line?
