Dash Bulbs

Hi, been awhile. My 99 has a bunch of dash lights out (heck she's 18). Clock, fan knob, some HVAC buttons (non nav) and the sunroof close. Maybe some others but those were the obvious. My wife drives the car 95% of the time so when I got in the car the other night I went; Hey! Not good. Can the TL family let me know the best source for bulbs and their specs other than the dealer? I replaced some a few years back and I remember the itsy bitsy bulbs were way expensive for what they are. As I am sure we can agreee, removing the column cover and instrument fascia is a pain so I want to replace most of the bulbs. Just under 274K and looking to go way past 300K!
Thanks TL Family.

If you want to stick with the halogens, I think dealer may be your best bet. Guaranteed fit so you don't have to open the dash again. Or you can just google the bulb sizes in halogens.

Point of clarification: Incandescent, not halogen

Classic thoiboi pedantic nature TECHNICALLY Halogen bulbs are also incandescent and the difference just depends on the glass and gas mixture of the bulb itself: if you want to read mhttp://www.topbulb.com/blog/whats-difference-halogen-incandescent-bulb/
