I think your best bet would be to call the dealer's parts department for the specific bulb number.

My technical database does not list the part or bulb number. I wish I could give you a better answer, but calling the dealer's parts department would be the best bet. The alternative would be to tear the dash apart to retrieve the bulb and then take the bulb to a parts store for the correct match.
