Default instrument cluster bulbs

where do i get some colored bulbs to replace the old clear bulbs. i looked around and couldnt find small bulbs that go in my car well atleast colored bulbs. my crx is a 91 si and was wondering if the bulbs that light up the rpm gauge the same size as the previous year crxs ?

there are two different sizes of bulbs.
i believe there are only 2 or 3 194's and the rest are 74s.
dont forget about the bulbs that shine on the front of the cluster too. there are 2 of them.

best bet is to get some light bulb paint. stores do not generally carry them.
