Instrument Cluster Bulb

[fordson04]

I have a 2005 Expedition and the bulb behind the fuel and engine temp blew. I have searched all over the web and various places and cant find which bulb I need to replace it with. Everything I can find is for older or newer expeditions and most call for a #74 bulb which is to big and will not fit in the plug. So which bulb size do i need?

I have done this. It's really easy. Autozone has the bulbs. It a sylvania #24 (I think)
It's the smallest bulb they have. Don't ask at the counter because they won't know. Just go to the light aisle and find it.

I'll check for you later on this afternoon since my dash is dis-assembled. If I have an extra one hanging around, I'll even send it to you since I am here in Richmond.

Here's a photo of it, but sorry, don't have any extras.

I need to to replace onet of the bulbs on my dash as well do you need to remove the entire cluster to do this or can you get to it from behind? Any help would be great. Thanks for the bulb # info.
