Default correct bulbs

I want to make SURE I do this correctly as pulling the dash isn't my idea of a fun project.
I am replacing my dash and have pulled everything out and would like to replace all the light bulbs. Would like them brighter but not a different color. I think the bulb in the top of the center gauge housing has a different bulb that shines down on the htr./a/c controls.
Also my car 79 does not have a pointer indicating gear selection.

Can you guy help by giving me part numbers, pictures or whatever would help me in purchasing these items.
I would guess a lot of you have been down this road before.
Thanks , Mike

You might also consider replacing using LED bulbs. I also never wanted to take the dash off ever again, so I used LED, which last almost forever. They are also brighter and make the instrument panel look nice.
