which bulbs to use for clock light? also side markers light are not working

so my bulbs on my clock have burnt out and I need to replace them. I looked around locally (lordco, canadian tire, the source, etc) and could NOT find them damn bulb so I'm gonna have to go with some bulbs online.
Anyone know whats the bulb I'm looking for? I don't mind it being an LED (having it brighter is a plus)

Also the bulbs on my sider marker (the orange ones by the fender are not working) any ideas? I haven't checked if both are burnt but what are the odds both are... I'll check tomorrow

You can always try and go to the dealership, on my last car it was like $5 for the clock light. It should be fairly cheap, as for the sidemarkers, you should go ahead and check if their burnt (Get LED!!!)

so I checked the side marker bulbs. Surprisingly both are burnt. I found it odd both were burnt at the same time so I replaced them both for under $3 and they both worked fine no problems. Now I just need to get the bulbs for the clock and I'll be set. I'll check the stealership for the clock ones but I've been told they're expensive.

EDIT:
alright so I called the dealer and woah they charge $23 EACH.. f that...

thanks for the offer but I was able to find some other bulbs locally thank god. my co-worker recommended this electronics shop and I went there and bought some bulbs.
they are a little bit bigger but they still do the job. Only thing (I'm not sure) but i think they may not be as bright as they should (since when I bought the car the bulbs were already burnt). Anyone mind posting a pic of their clock at night to see what it really should look like? and if in fact they are not as bright, I'd probably pay for the shipping if your offer is still on the table.

The stock bulbs are not too bright either. The lighting does not look consistent around the clock.
