On the nc29 t5 is the right size, mine look like the ones in your second picture, maybe a bit thinner. I bought a few 2.3w for the speedo and rev counter and they seem fine.

I have read that any bulb above 1.7w can bleach out the plastic face of the clocks. I used the standard 1.2w.

I also looked at LEDs but they dont illimunate the whole dash.

Mine are dull so would like to fit brighter bulbs, but dont want to risk it.

Yep i have heard of this bleaching, dunno though, will tell you if it happens as my clock lights are on all the time it should happen sooner than most.

Simple answer, fit LED bulbs instead and you don't get the heat build up of filament bulbs.
