I'm almost sure they do, because it's not like they make that light SPECIFICALLY for that purpose, they use it on other things people change too.

Also can I get these bulbs from pep-boys or somewhere else?

ahhhh once again.....LEDs to the rescue, take the stock harness pick the 3mm LEDs of your choice i would prefer a wide angle one over 10* to get a nice spread light, then wire up the resistor (470ohms 1/2 watt 5% tolerance thats on mine) an enjoy looking at something else besides that dingey looking yellowish color...
and enjoy somethin new

The direct replacement bulbs for these are available at AutoZone, Advance, Pep Boys - any car place. They aren't available in any colors. They are any size in the two digit range that is the same size (#37, #57, #97...) - they have a selection. The difference is the resistor - I believe the higher the number you go, the brighter the bulb is.
If you want color - go 3mm LED.
BTW - this is the same size bulb as what is in the door panel to light up your window switches and door locks.
