i think if you search this forum, as well as the 210 forum on Benzworld,
you'll find part numbers, as well as bulb base designs, etc. others have
already scoped out these specs and have posted

I recently replaced all the bulbs behind the LCD screens in the cluster (2 small red and 4 small white bulbs) and the main lighting for the gauges (2 small white and 2 large white bulbs) costing me a total of €35.- at the dealer. So $16.- per bulb seems a bit steep indeed!

You'll need the original bulbs to get an even lighting pattern across the cluster. They all are a specific Wattage...

I believe that I've seen a thread or two where people talked about using colored cellophane to change the colors. I replaced all of my instrument cluster bulbs a few months ago and I thought about doing it but was too lazy.

On a side note, if you're going to pull the instrument cluster just replace all of the bulbs at once. I bought 2 bulbs from the dealership, for $7 each, and replaced the couple that were burnt out. Few days later two more go out so I just bought enough to replace them all from autohausaz. Like 95 cents each.
