       Auto bulb would burn out, it's 12 volts.   Looks like it would be easier to swap out the socket with the screw-in type.

I think that bulb/socket issue is going to be too much trouble.

You should just sell it to me and let me deal with it!  LOL  

Congrats on the awesome machine.  Looks great!

That was my first thought.

I'd go with something like this:

Locking pins look a bit low however. Minor issue.

Wow, they sure are proud of those 2 watt bulbs at $18 a piece and I need 4.  Thank you again everyone for the compliments!!!!  Just glad to be able to contribute to the forum!

[Creighton]

Didn't know you needed 4. LED is the best for behind the plastic. No heat issues and will be brighter. Call them up or poke through the catalog. Should be able to find something.

There's a place called Light Bulb Depot up on South Blvd. in Charlotte, https://www.lightbulbdepot.com/ I have dealt with them before for some hard to find bulbs for my insulator lamps and they are very good.  They have a walk-up counter and will bring out different bulbs for you to try out.

The big thing with the new LED bulbs is to watch out for the lumen rating on them, the bulbs that Creighton linked to are only 12 Lumens, so they are going to be fairly dim.  A 15W candleabra base night-light bulb is around 20 lumens, which is still very dim.  That's why the ability to test them out is nice, get a good feel for what you need.

Thanks Tom, the light bulb depot did have the bulb!  Here is a pic of the machine in its final resting place and lit up!

Cool, glad you are sorted! Thanks Tom, good info.
