Default Classic dash light bulbs

Bought a kit on ebay to convert the dim crappy speedo lights on my facelift classic to blue LED's but theres a problem.

I was expecting the back of the cluster to be covered in W5W/501 type bulbs (as supplied) but theres only 1. The rest are tiny little bulbs (about 12).

the kit came with 3 other small LED's which I managed to use but the lighting is patchy as theyre not wide angle bulbs. the left side (where the w5w is) is bright, then the middle/speedo is patchy and the right side of the rev counter is dark/unlit.

I've seen some nice wrx/pre facelift ones done with good results but the 00 one I have seems trickier.

Anyone know what type of bulb the smaller ones are? they do all the warning lights etc so must be pretty common.

Any help is appreciated.

I'd suggest looking at Maplins and comparing one.

Input miniature 12V bulb, or even sub-miniature.
