Do you mean underdash pod? That would work, but the speaker panel may be a better place in terms of visiability.

I agree that all the standard incandescent panel mount bulbs I've seen are too bulky. You could use panel mount LED's, but watch out for the generator light. If you have an internally regulated alternator like I do, make sure the LED can pass enough current to initiate the field or the alterantor won't turn on when the engine is running (idiot light stays on). I'm not sure if a little LED would work with a generator, but probably not since they all use a regulator to kick them on. I worked around my problem with the LED by using a relay to turn on the LED. Wiring the LED in parrallel to the regulator wire may also work (tried it, but had it wired wrong. have'nt tried it the right way yet).
