Unhappy Bulb Sizes

Can anyone tell me what the bulb sizes are for some interior lights on my 98GS4??

I need the sizes for:
1)Vanity mirror lights
2)Under dash courtesy lights
3)Dome light
4)Front map lights

I can get the wattages from the owner's manual, but it doesn't mention the bulb type number......

Help please.......

Lightbulb Xtreme White

I think its the M4 just take it off and look at it nothings gonna happen
M4 is the model number of a Polarg brand bulb which is a type 194/5W wedge bulb.

Here you go, just click and all bulb sizes are there.
Xtreme White is basically useless for interior lights!! The only one they even mention is the dome!!! They list like 6 different types, most of which are different sizes from one another. They don't list squat for any other interior lights!!


Does ANYONE have the answers I seek?????

The first two lights have NO replacements (other than OEM)...

the "Dome" light is double tipped bulb...Raybrig makes a "Super White" bulb...their part number is R-133 (12V8W)

http://www.xtremewhite.com/ORD-Light...22-1-1-1-1.cfm

The "Map" lights (and the the lights for the rear) are also 12W8V but a different "format"...Raybrig's eqiv. is R-134

Will the Luminics bulbs at 55 watts burn out the harnesses of the fogs at OEM 45 watts I believe?

you don't have to go to the dealer to find a replacement, just pull the old bulb out and walk into autozone. I found a replacement there yesterday I believe the bulb number was 1816, the bulb was not an exact orb but it fit and works.
