Default Dashboard bulb wattage

I replaced my instrument cluster bulbs large and small today. I'm a little concerned because after driving for a while, when I removed the instrument cluster to check the contact on one bulb, the back of the cluster felt very warm, almost hot. I don't want to melt anything with those little bulbs, so I'm wondering if the bulbs I got are too high a wattage for this purpose. Anybody know the correct wattage for the large and small bulbs?
Thanks!

I just replaced all of mine when I did the RealGauge install and if I remember correctly the package said 4W.
