TR4/4A TR4 Dash Lights

I've just replaced the wiring harness in my TR4, and I notice that the dash light connectors are different than the old ones (see attached picture). Can anyone tell me the part number for the new lamps? A previous post mentions autolumination.com, but I need the p/n. Also, any recommendations on LED colors would be helpful- is there a strong preference?

If they are screwin type bulb, which the shinny holder looks to be the bulb size would be E10 miniture screw base. As far as cololr if you are going to keep the color lenses in your gauges then white would be your choice, otherwise Green works best
 
I'm not sure if both those are the new harness or what. The one with the metal base is obviously correct for the tach or speedo... if the other is part of the new harness I'd like to know where you got it (so I don't get one from them).
 
Sorry, I should have said which is which. The shiny circular one is the lamp holder for the tach (which matches the original lamp holders). The black one is one of 4 four for the other gages, which is different from the original, and is the one I'm trying to figure out the proper bulbs for. The wiring harness was purchased from britishwiring.com, which was recommended on this forum.
 
I would call Britishwiring and ask them which bulbs are the proper ones for the black holders. The shinny one deffinatly takes the E10 miniture screw base bulb. I have bought the same holder from them for mine and that is the size that fits.The Black holder looke similar to the original except it is not metal. If it excepts a screw in bulb then it is probably the E10. That is what the original calls for. Hope this helps.
 
British Wiring's response:
We had to go with those plastic bulb holders because the originals are no longer available. They take LLB504 capless bulbs. If your auto store does not have them we can supply - $1.25 each. They are in the components catalog on the web site.
 
Well see there you go.
