Default Dashboard bulbs.

Does anyone know what type of blub is used in mk4 dashboards.

I know the type, like the single piece glass with wire pressed in them, I just cant seem to find any. Two have gone that light up the heater switches.

Another question.

Does anyone know the code number for the larger type twist bulbs. I think there is four that light up the speedo/rev counter?
