Default 408 (and similar) instrument lights question

I am trying to brighten up the instrument lighting with LED bulbs. The back of the instrument panel is a mass of wiring!!!! I found the bulbs for the speedometer and tachometer but the small gauges seem to have no bulb fitting of their own.

Am I right in seeing that they are lit by shared bulbs i.e. one per side of the panel lighting two minor instruments via small opening in the side of their casings? e.g The Ammeter and Oil Pressure gauge share a bulb? Or am I missing something?

Thanks

David
