Ashtray light bulb is part number N0177512
58 cents from AutohausAZ.
BTW, Bentley doesn't include part numbers, only repair procedures, wiring diagrams, etc. You need ETKA for part numbers.

The cluster bulbs are different than the ashtray bulb...
Instrument cluster bulbs look like this:

While the ashtray bulb is like this:

The IC comes out pretty easily. You do NOT need to remove the steering wheel as shown in this picture. Just tilt it downward as far as it will go. First, remove screws labeled #2, and remove the trim piece, #1. You will then see a few bolts at the bottom of the IC holding it in. Remove those, then carefully pull it out and disconnect the connectors on the back. After you get it out, the bulbs are easy to replace.

No problem...
Just a heads-up: Frequent AW users prefer that you start your response in the "subject" line. For example, you could have typed that entire post in the subject line and saved everyone who is reading the additional click...it just makes threads easier to read. The "NT" image at the end of a post indicates "No Text" inside, only what you see in the subject.
