Re: instrument bulbs
Which one? Off the top of my head, neutral light etc. are t5 1.7w, speedo illumination etc. are t10 1.7w, but I usually replace with t10 3w. LEDs are a waste of time as the light is patchy. Higher than 3w is silly as it bleaches or melts the dials!

Re: instrument bulbs
I have bought from this guy, so that's my recommendation.

Or 2w (tiny bit brighter). But not 5w (melts stuff).
