If you look in the "how to" threads, at the top of this page, there`s a list in there, although i can`t access it at the moment.

Once I've confirmed the sizes do I need to get coloured (e.g. green for neutral light) or just clear/white ones?

Although mines a Steamer, i used the white ones as the light covers are coloured.

Don`t know if you have a low fuel level warning light on the Girlies, the Led bulbs won`t work with that, although there is a fix if you`re prepared to mess about with soldering some resistors for it.

Maybe a dumb question from my side: why? The lights shouldn't be to bright either otherwise it is annoying when riding in the dark.

You can put coloured ones in the tacho, odo, fuel an T°. That's personal choice I think.  I did the white ones, but others love the green ones ...
But for the idiot lights, clear/white is obvious because of the different colors.
