What bulb are using in the Firebird light switch?

The light at the top of my switch is out. Is there a replacement available for it or a particular mod?

I've been looking at this one in case mine fails.

I was about to say the GM service manual has list of all light bulbs, but I just looked for Firebird and it does not list that particular bulb. Does that mean it is not serviceable? I've never had one of those switches apart and I'm just curious.

It's a potted assembly. You can't change the bulbs in it.
