Default dash light bulb replacement

anyone know what bulbs go in the instrument cluster, the gear shifter indicator and the window switches? Do all the window switches have lights or just driver panel?

here is a pic of the drivers switch as you can see those clear plastic pieces go into each switch and light up the 4 window switches, through two light bulbs, and as you can see mine melted and broke

sorry i initially took the pictures of the drivers switch only to see the damage, i tore the switch apart to see why my rear passenger switch lit up yellow rather then light blue like the others, if someone can pitch in the proper bulb size i will most likely do a Full interior LED swap in the future

one word of advice take your time and be super patient, have a beer do whatever it takes to not snap those little tabs
