What type bulbs are in the dials? I want to change the colour of mine (again) but I can't remember what type they are

Hmm - is this as simple as changing the bulbs or does it involve scraping dye off the back of the dials etc?

Does anyone have any pictures of their changed dash colours? I'm thinking of doing mine as I need to replace a bulb anyway so while it's all out I'm thinking of replacing the lot? Was going to change the speedo and rev dials to Blue?
