Default High/Low beam dash indicator light bulb number

I am looking for the part number of the 6 volt bulb that goes in the dash above gauge cluster that indicates high/low beamfor a 1940 Std .

I also would like to know how to remove bulb from its socket.
I have tried but can not figure out.
Thanks Tom.

#51 bulb. Pinch the two sides of the metal cover reflector with your fingers and pull it off to expose the bulb. Push in and turn the bulb and you can remove it from the socket. It can be difficult to push in on the bulb a slight pull of the wire by hand may help.

A cloth or glove can save cut fingers if unexpected breakage occurs.
