name of the bulbs in the back of the dials ?

You mean the instrument dials?

Those are T10 bulbs. I ordered some LED ones from eBay, and even specifically ordered ones with flat top + inverted dispersion pattern so they do not create hotspots but they still turned out like crap -- too dim, and the color was not nice.

If you are intending to go LED, make sure they are really bright and disperse the light well.

I prefer the retro yellow filament bulb look and went back to regular bulbs. If you're like me, be sure to get just regular cheap 5W ones. Those with blue or chrome tints seem to run very hot and will melt the socket.
 
The LEDs work great for the shifter though (if you have an automatic)
