The bulb for the instrument panel is #74 and I replaced all 14. The DIC panel uses a different bulb(total of 3 bulbs). The H/U panel uses still another size bulb(total of 4 bulbs).
I have done my best to research the bulbs by size, amp and lumins and have ordered what I hope will be a proper replacement. Will post the result after trial.

You can pull the old bulbs out of the bases and replace with a 7219 12v 0.7W bulb. This is what is typically in the base.
Here is a link to one company I have purchased from for reference.
