The main cluster is a T5, as are the info centre LCD panels, I bought those t5 units that pre made with the correct bases (search r509t) as they are quite short, then I bought the flat 2 sided T5 LEDs that fit into the original bulb holders for the illumination of the main cluster, all in all it works quite well, plus depsite reading various places that the dimming won't work with them it actually does, which is a bonus.
