anyone know what size the idiot light bulbs are?

i measured the base and it appears to be 4.5mm, no idea what name it is

i know the ones that illuminate the rear of the clusters is a single t10 and about 4-5 t5's

i want to replace the top two that illuminate the needles with higher intensity ones but they're neither t10 or t5, appear to be the same as the idiot lights

markings appear to be;
tsd
7 4

got my eye on the smt suckers for t10 and t5
just wondering whether i can change the top ones while i'm at it
otherwise i'll just have to get that amber led paint stuff and remove that dark film thing which filters the light that shines on to the cluster needles themselves

nah i don't want coloured ones, just white ones that are brighter

xp02ed; the top ones aren't t5
i've tried fitting the t5 bulbs from the other lights and they don't physically fit, connectors too small

the ones at the top appear to be the same ones used for the other instrument lights, not the ones that light up the cluster though

the insutrument ones i think are t7,

i bought LEDs which were t5 which were used to lightup the cluster and also used it for the top section which the base holding thingo seem similar.

i might be wrong or the fact the LEDS have smaller base than normal bulbs

#194 = t10
#24 = t5
#74 = ??? but this is used for the idiot lights and the two needle illumination lights at the top
