There's a part number for it, but it'll cost you about £25!!
Much easier to solder in a couple of new 50p bulbs.
SC00337 from CPC/Farnel, but watch the sub £40 small order charge.

I'm no expert (far from it) but mine weren't working either so I used this guide to replace the bulbs with LEDs. Used standard red (5v I think) LEDs with a couple of resistors. No more worrying about the bulbs dying in future.
