Default Changing instrument cluster, How many bulbs?

I need to change my instrument cluster bulbs because some of them are burned out. I want It to be bright, so I am going to put in all green 2.0w bulbs. Does anybody know how many total bulbs there are? this would be a big help, I don't want to have to take out the cluster any more than needed.
thanks

Default Up to 17(Depending on year)

There are 17 total bulbs on the back of the cluster assembly.

I'd wound not change them to a higher wattage!

Higher wattage bulbs give off more heat! More heat will melt the surrounding plastic of your cluster!;o)

Get the OEM bulbs, and replace the ones which are burnt out.
