TD5 binnacle light replacement

I took the Defender out for the first overnight drive over the weekend to find that a couple of the binnacle lights have died, which meant I couldn't tell how slow I was going! The clock and fuel gauge lights are still working, but the speedo and temperature lights are out.

Can anyone recommend the appropriate bulbs to use replace these, please? Everything else has been switched for LEDs, so that would be good, but I've no idea which ones to pick. Thanks.

It is personal preference, but I hate LED bulbs in the TD5s binnacle. They create a too bright spot light in the gauge whereas the incandescent bulbs just give that perfect warm glow.

Best bulbs I have used are Osram 286 1.2x 12v wedge bulbs - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Osram-Genuine-Ori...=8-1-fkmr1
