3w cup bulbs, bulbs solderd to the cap, mine has 3 big ones Part number p.12v w3w e20. but i have led's in. small ones are for the info, They are 12/1.2, (17 of these but some are not used) but you can get LED's for the same price.

from memory there is a pic in maintenance of the back of the clocks. Back lights are the large yellow holders, the bulb fits into them. Warning lights are the smaller ones. Worth a look. :-)

If it`s the main ones that fit into the 4 yellow holders you can use sidelight bulbs. Called 501`s. Any motor spares/accessories will stock `em

You got an MID in yours, matey (sorry, dunno if the pre-facelift does or not!).
If so, do you have LEDs in that, and do they work OK?
I stuck some blue ones in mine and they just glowed green, even with the fader up full.
My MID is like the one in RobG's pics........
