Not at my place currently, but this link reply, the third image shows the gauges out of the holder/bracket, one nut on the back - DISCONECT the battery that amp gauge is "hot" especially if the burnt bulb is in that unit.

Once you have the burnt bulb out you can match it, I might have a bulb number but will be hours before I can look.

FYI the original bulbs were "painted" with green paint .It is a relatively easy DIY.  The green glass ones that are replacement alternatives give a different looking light compared to the original bulbs.

Back at my place, here is a green bulb that Bob is referring to...

Whatever you get you might want to change both so they match.  The car I had someone replaced them with cleat glass, I didn't mind made it easier to see them down there at night.
