dash display bulb - can you just buy the bulb?

Hello all, Dash display some bulb must be dead so ambient temp not showing, found part number so on so forth but is the bulb only sold with the holder as in the pic? or does the bulb holder separate from the bulb , if yes what 1.5 w bulb do i need of the shelf?

After scanning forum seems these are a complete unit so to speak, but be interesting to see if anyone has separated 2 parts and what bulb type is apart from 1.5 w rating
