I have put 360 degree bulbs everywhere. Depending on location of the bulb you have some choices.
- dome lights - bulbs points down so you can go with 360 or bulb lighting forward.
- parking lights - they enter at an angle, so you can have right/left angle bulbs. I have chosed 360 since I want light forward and to the side through orange reflector
- door bulbs - they shine sideways so 360 or left/right angle bulb will work
- door steps point down. Recommend 360 since not only they light up the ground but also there is gap to provide light on the step. If you don't care about steps then forward lighting one will work also.

Any wedge bulbs should fit. Here it is a guide to LED bulbs.

Did you replace your interior footwell lights?
How about the DRL's? I don't like the yellow light of the stock bulb.

And you can turn it off if you don't like it~

I have not replaced the footwell lights as I like orange the car came with. Actually very cool.
I am not planning to replace DRL with LEDs. If you replace them with LEDs, you will loose High Beams. Also DRL operate on lower voltage so you will need to install something to make the LEDs work correctly. As you I don't like yellow DRL, so I have disabled them. In your Navigation go to Setup and the option disable is in the car menu in lighting section. Takes 10 sec to disable. If you have a non-navigation GX, you may have to go to dealer. They did it on my GS350 free of charge as there was no option in Gen 5 navigation

Yes, the 6k will have the blue tint. If you prefer pure white like I do, I would wait until v-leds have some more. Per Bill in customer service they are expecting more toward end of the next week.
I am waiting for new delivery myself as I need 4 more 194 5k LEds for doors which I have not replace yet.

I don't need this to be LED, but I would like a bulb that provides a white light.

I personally would not suggest going with an LED bulb for your highs/DRL as the actual light output will not be very functional.
Many of our customers end up installing this bulb:
http://www.KBcarstuff.com/Putco_Mirr...lbs_p/23mw.htm
It operates at the same wattage as your stock bulbs so you can safely install them into your vehicle.
As for the 194 Parking bulb, Some of our Lexus customers have installed our white 194 360 degree LED bulb.
You are not going to get a brighter and more durable LED bulb then these Putco 194 LED bulbs.

Even white bulb will still produce yellow light, since it run on low voltage, I think the only way is using LED
