Hi, assuming you mean the ones in the instrument cluster.

They are the same push type as now fitted to sidelights/ high level brake lights etc. This is a link to the type of bulb fitment http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/T10-501-W5W-SIDELIGHT-BULBS-BLUE-WEDGE-BLUE-SideMarker_W0QQitemZ260174218233QQihZ016QQcategoryZ72235QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem .

They seem to be referred to as 501 type.

However, I say type of fitment as although sidelight bulbs will fit, they are 5 watt and the instrument ones are lower, I think either 1.2 watt or 2 watt .... when I did mine the writing had mostly burnt off buthere was a 2 in there somewhere. If you put 5 watt ones in, I reckon you'll need to turn the dimmer down making the clock etc harder to see. I know because I had to put in 5 watt ones to replace bust ones and I couldn't get the right ones.

From memory I think there are 5 bulbs in the instrument cluster.

Cheers
Mike
