    I wouldn't even begin to know where to look for a replacement bulb. Doesn't an LED give off a bluish light? Mine is more yellowish, like an incandescent. I assumed it was an LED because of it's small size.

    Judging by the look of the speedo, with the analog odometer, I can't imagine that is an LED bulb. You can get some pretty small old style filament bulbs, much smaller than an old 194 bulb. I have one here, says VCH A1 s, 14v 9mA on it. Looks like yours. From an old car instrument cluster. You guys have NAPA?
