Default Dash bulbs needed for my XJ

I need to buy one or two of the large and small bulb assemblies shown in the pic below. I think dealer price is about $10 each. Anyone have an alternate source for these? I would pay the dealer price, but I am at least an hour from the closest Jag dealer and would prefer to buy them via mail or at a local auto parts or electronics dealer.

It was suggested that the bulbs could be purchased at Radio Shack and fitted to the holders.

Thanks for any help!

After some research the large bulbs are :

504 12V 3W
2.1mm wide x 9.5mm depth

I have yet to fit these however so cannot be 100% !

The 3 watt is important apparently, many of these type of bulbs are 5 watt which is too high.

Got these off Fleabay for a few pence each.

I purchased a few bulbs from Automotive Household Truck Trailer RV Lighting Led Light Bulbs.
They sell both led and incandescent. I tried the led first and found them to be way to bright. The incandescent bulbs were an exact match.

Be careful. Measure twice, order once. :-)
