Why not take this time to upgrade your stereo? I don't know the answer to your question, however, I'm sure they're not made because there isn't a market for them.

They are probably the gauge cluster bulbs. The ones that twist in/out. You'd have to take one to your local auto parts store and ask them. if not, compare them to twist bulbs for gauge clusters online. That is in the bulb doesn't come out of the socket. If the bulb comes out of the part that twists out, then it's probably a 194.

Got a picture of the bulb?

I had that problem and I just went on ebay and bought a new stock radio for $30. I'm a stock radio guy. Can't stand aftermarkets, so I know your pain.

You could go LED:

I also found this. Could probably get the bulbs at Radio shack.

You might be able to find some here as well:
