There are 4 bulbs. 5, if you count the Neutral indicator. They are number 168 standard automotive bulb.

I got them off eBay, 10 for $6, direct from China. One thing to keep in mind when buying LED bulbs is that some of them are directional, shining only out the top (front?). To get good dash illumination you need the ones that also have LEDs shining to the sides.
