While replacing some bad capacitors, I accidentally touched two of the neon lights and broke the leads. (located right under the "T60," which is actually T601). What should I replace them with?

From what I can tell, these lights are used for troubleshooting, to tell you if there is voltage going through the circuit.

They are a voltage reference, probably about 180V, used for some circuit. You need to find the same type of neon lamp (there are variations with different trigger voltages) or a suitable Zener diode. Your first stop should be getting a manual which should describe that circuit.
