Which warning light? If it's one of the LEDs then you should be able to pick one up at somewhere like Maplins.

You sure they need replacing ? It would be unusual for both to fail at the same time, plus LED's last virtually for ever. It could be a wiring fault on the dash PCB = quite common.

Basically I'm hardwiring the pod to get rid of the pcb and the bulbs I have tested and are no good

No LEDs are 12 volt. They have to have a resistor in one of the leads. The value varies depending on the current draw (and hence the designed brightness of the LED). See an LED resistance calculator as per
THIS ONE.
