My 1983 SAAB 900S had a rip in the foil when I bought it, probably the result of someone clumsily trying to reset the odometer to meet the maximum mileage on their lease. I carefully soldered some jumper wires to either the foil runners or directly onto the circuit board (it's been a long time...) and fixed it. Note that this is not recommended for a novice at soldering printed circuitry - as an electrical engineer I was quite experienced at this.
Your car is already a 12V system, so not sure where you are going with that one. Alternatively, you might be able to rig something up with LEDs or some other way of holding a socketed light source in the holes. Another alternative is a used part - these should be plentiful.
