Default Instrument cluster globes

I recently replaced the globes in behind the LCD display on the cluster (what an easy job that was compared to the E series) and naturally now that I have touched it other globes have blown.

Does anyone know what type globe they are? I'm after the globes that light the back of the fascia, speedo, tacho and the like. I also noticed that there were two different coloured base types in there, my guess would be different wattages so if anyone knows what they are that'd be good too.

Also is there anywhere apart from Ford to get these, the $7 a globe for the LCD ones was just a bit rich.

I think I am actually going to sell my Silver dials, and get some El-dials. Instead of the silver, go a more sportier, white look.

An idea for you Russ.

Are those the same dials as the T-Series cars?

The Silver dials are the same as the T-Series, which give off a blue glow, but I am trying to find a pure White set.

Cheers Henri, as long as I don't have to solder I am happy.
