You did say that your records were not readily available but may I please impose and ask you to look whenever the time is available? I want to replace all the bulbs in the dash panel (proper length) with warm light as you did. The exception would be the “ignition” light. I believe that totals 6.

The length of the bulb varies depending on the number of LEDs it carries (you can see in the photos how they are made up of “stacks” of little square LED units) — some instruments have enough depth for the longer (brighter) ones, but others do not.
