Default differential lock panel illumination...

anyone know if they take the same bulbs as behind the HVAC *****?

I have a light out (4wheel HI LOCK).

I used these bulbs from superbrightleds.com for the HVAC illumination, but curious if same bulbs are used for the locking control panel.

NEOx LED Bulb - High Power Instrument Panel LED

SKU: NEO4-NWHP

Color Options

Natural 3800K

They are not the same lights. And unfortunately, they are not a socket design; they are soldered direct to the board.
When I had a light go out on me (4-HI), I moved the light from behind the diff-lock area to the 4-HI spot. My truck does not have a locker, so I obviously did not need that light (they must all have the standard electronic board, with a different button face).

In your case you don't have that option, but perhaps you could get one from a local junk yard? You will need to de-solder and re-solder the bulb in place.
They are tiny blue lights with very small wires. think of a (much smaller) Christmas tree light bulb (the old ones you could replace).

EDIT:
was able to find a picture from another forum (Serv 4wd | Hummer4x4Offroad)

Uggh...dang it.

Wish I knew what bulbs they are and I'll try to de-solder, re-solder a new bulb.

Interesting. This other thread shows they look a bit different:
