Alright! Heater control panel light is fixed!

For future reference of any searches, I picked up Napa part #787133, which is the right size socket to fit in the control panel as well as accepts the original bulb (1445).

BUT, instead of using it, I slipped the contact with wire attached out of the new socket, slipped it into the original socket, and reused the original. Overkill I know, but I liked the idea of keeping as much original as possible. Especially since the rest of the socket was in perfect shape. A quick crimp onto the original connector's wire, heat shrink, and I have a light!
