Gauge cluster bulbs question

[rmenaul]

I was wondering what size replacement bulbs I need for my 1995 Talon TSi AWD?... I'm changing the stock yellow dash cluster bulbs to blue ones, but I bought a kit and the bulbs don't fit in the cluster, they're too big!... they're 12v 5w polarg B1 hybrid bulbs (M-4 P8713W).
Also, anyone ever installed that glowing needle kit?, I don't know if its a good idea having all those wires attached to the gauge faces.

Any other ideas/tips?
Thanks.
