Apparently the carbon panels are quite rare...

I have checked with 3 other dealers and they state that the panel by the shift lever is no longer available...they can still get the wood ones and the painted fake aluminum panels. Same with junkyards. The dealer previously cracked the dash carbon panel when removing/reinstalling it after a cupholder and fan/damper control stepper motor replacement last year. So really both panels now look like crap. I am almost afraid to replace them as with all the trouble I have had with this car, they will likely be tearing into it again and will break another panel. I replaced my wood dash panel in my 00 9-3 SE a couple of years ago because it started cracking. It was a tight fit, but not that bad...I don't know how someone who does this for a living can keep messing up these pieces.
The dealer simply claims they cannot get the parts and offers the epoxy repairs, or the wood or silver panels.
I just found a couple of spare bulbs out of an old SID for my 1994 900 SE that fit the description of the bulbs you mention for the 9-5 ACC. They are mounted with a white plastic half turn screw plug. If I can get the ACC out I will see if they match up. So far the radio will not budge with the tools (NAPA) that I used to remove the radio on my NG 900/ OG 9-3. Now I wonder if they mangled up the radio mount as well.
