Does anyone know where to get a light bulb for the rear window defogger switch? I tried to get a radio shack light bulb but it won't fit in the holder very well at all. Is this something you can buy from the dealer without getting screwed over? I have a feeling the dealer solution will be to replace the whole switch when all I need is a 50 cent bulb.

Here's the Shack information for DSMs, and I assume it's the same for our cars:
Radio Shack cat no. 272-1092. The part description is
Micro Lamps (2 in a package), 12 volts, 60 mA

Becareful....
Those lil bitches get HOT!!
I know, I replaced all the lights in my Spyder switch console (6 of them) and that thing is warm to the touch.
Not trying to steer you elsewhere, just making a statement.

they work
Those lamps that John suggested work, but they are a little small. So if you are planning on using them in something like the defroster switch, like i did, the light output will be a little different, simply because of the physical size, much of the bulb is hidden by the base.
I actually replaced mine today. I've tried several different dealerships, they all say I'd have to order the defroster switch assembly, and at $60 (even with our discount), there's no way. Run on down to RadioShack and for 1.49 you get two of them. I may look for something that fits better, but until then, give those a shot.
