Default where to get instrument cluster bulbs?

I was going to replace the 4 main bulbs for the instrument cluster. Do I order these from Porsche or are these availble locally at a radio shack or Frys or some type of electronics store?

the bulbs in the digital dash should all be replaced at the same time, they are special and need to be ordered from the dealer, when you remove the different bulbs you will see they have different watt ratings and they also have special holders that they are inserted into

Yeah I was out looking for a pod crack filler (didnt find anything) and was also looking at all the different small bulbs in the auto parts store. No luck there.

You can replace just the bulbs with standard bulbs - the wedge bulb part is a push it into the twist lock base. You can source 2W like the stock ones or 3W as a slightly brighter option if you like.

The 3W ones are Sylvania type 2821, find these and you also see 2W versions with the same footprint.
