Driver panel switch bulbs

My boost switch bulb is no longer working and potentially others (no sure what all lights up). I removed the panel and exposed the bulb. Can't figure out how to remove the bulb, nor do I know what type of bulb it is.

Any ideas?

My dash lights were VDO brand and I ordered on the internet. Pricey little guys. May be the same?

I believe the GE & Sylvania #2721 (or 2721LL) are suitable replacements.  If I am correct, you can simply pull the old bulb straight up and out of the bulb holder.

I'm currently waiting for a shopping list of bulbs for the Studebaker ordered from Bulb Town, aka Jackson Electric Supply.  None of there were above $1.  A pair of one number would have been $6 at Autozone.
