Dial illumination

Good afternoon. I have a very early Boxster 1997. The illumination in the bottom sections of the dials has failed and I can no longer read the oil level or mileage. Doing some reading, it seems that the early cars have bulbs that illuminate the back of the readouts. there is plenty on line about removing the binnacle but I can’t find anything about which bulbs to buy. I believe that they are fitted into carriers and then clicked into place behind the dials. can anyone help?
with many thanks,
Charles.
 
The attached shows the Porsche part numbers, and instructions for changing. The slightly confusing thing is that the bulb table (which shows standard bulb numbers) doesn't show the 3W bulb shown on the parts list, and nor do the instructions!

Anyway, I hope it helps.
