4x4 'engaged' bulb
so, I pulled the bulb out from behind the dash '4x4 is engaged' symbol, as it hasn't lit up in a year or two.
now I have the bulb
and while I'm not even sure it's burnt out, how do I find a new one? what are these called?

You ought to go get some bulb condoms, like the ones Autometer sends with their gauges, to change up the colors of the bulbs. Maybe that'll help

Any of three wedge bulbs (158, 168, 194) will fit but, as noted by Pat Daly, they are rated at different wattages.
At 14 volts, the approximate wattage for three different wedge bulbs is:
158 - 3.4w
194 - 3.8w
168 - 4.9w
The heat from a bulb with a higher wattage rating than the specified bulb can cause serious damage to surrounding plastic parts! Ask me how I know...
The moral is to stick with the specified bulb -- in this case a 158 and not a 194 or a 168...
