    Hi all my fine ferrari friends,
    I purchased my 1995 348 Spider a little over a month ago and I jam just sorting out the kinks. I noticed the light on the door lock button was not lighing at night so I decided to fix this today. I had redone the upper center console and thought the same bulbs in there would be the same for the Door Lock and Door opem and gas latch button. I took it all aprt very carefully and found that they are different bulbs that are these hard wired onto the connection board.
    So I called Pep Boys and they said good luck, they have nothing, I then went over to my local Radio Shack and started to sort thru drawers of bulbs and low and behold I found the exact bulb.
    Its part# 272-1092 pk2 12V microlamps at ready,, are you sure Heres you go $ 1.89 for 2
    I went home an unsoldered the bad bulb and soldered in the new and it works and looks great. So if anyone has a bulb out in there the center dash window or gas door release butttons this bulb is the exact replacement

    Good Luck

    Just to bring this back up to date.

    Thanks Glenn for posting this saved me some time and money.
    I have attached a photo of what the switch looks like split apart, just about to order a new bulb and solder it back in.
