I had a similar problem with my 1999 cavalier... the odometer is digital and when i had a stereo installed a tight wire grazed the bulb and snapped it off. Thus I was on a search for the new bulb.
I took the bulb with me around town to look for a replacement. Chevy said they didn't make the part-- and no auto part stores had it either. I happened upon it in a car stereo installation store... they had plenty in stock, since i guess with stereo installations this has happened before. I had the first person that installed the stereo pop the bulb in, and it's been fine.
No one i talked to ever suggested i replace the entire unit. the bulb cost me only 7 bucks, but the problem was finding it. Replacing the whole unit sounds a little fishy to me. I'd check around in some local stereo stores and see if you have any luck.
