I can however, atest that 6 are need for every light in there (including turn signal, brights, battery, parking brake, etc.). As far at the main gauges like speedo, fuel, and oil there are only three that I remember (with fiber-optic wires lighting to the HVAC controls from the speedo bulb.)
Oh, DUH...I wasn't even thinking about the warning lights and the turn signal lights. And, actually, on the 123, the ACC controls have their own lights...I don't think there's much in the way of fiber optics on them. I had two bulbs out in my ACC (there's 4 or 5 total; can't remember exactly), and replaced both, and the ACC controls light up much better now...

Actually, if you count the brake light, glow plug light, turn signal indicators, etc, on the 123, I count 8 lights, not counting whatever lights light up the instrument cluster itself...
