Default Interior Lighting

I'm not 100% sure if this has been asked, I've tried searching throughout the forums using the search tools but have had no luck..
I've got a 98 GS300 that I've been doing little things on since I've bought it.. I got around to doing a LED conversion kit, but I can't seem to figure out the bulbsizes for the middle overhead area that has the dome light and the 2 personal lights for the driver/passenger, vanity lights on mirrors, and the 2 lights that are in the foot well areas..

Does anyone have any idea what bulbsizes these are or where I can find a comprehensive list of the bulb sizes..

Thanks in advanced!

Don

I tried a few different led lamps in the dome light but what I did was use two 3175 bulbs in a V shape configuration which produced the best and brightest light output. I made 2 ends for the bulbs out of a light thin metal sheet had laying around and had it shaped like a tape cassette player roll to hold the two bulbs in place (since it is only meant for one bulb).

Cool white led's were ok but I used the 12 led xenon single lights like these:

I have the LED bug now, I have replaced footwells, trunk, glovebox and reverse lights, Just received the doors and keyhole light in green LED. Not looking for overhead bright lights. Any bulb i am missing? I also have the ash tray bulb as it took the same bulb as the keyhole but in white. I have non HID headlights and want to go LED for the low beams. Any recommendations on non HID LED replacement bulbs? Thank you.

Have you done the license plate bulbs? Those are an easy change. Big difference too (LED on right of course) 194/168 bulb.

I was not sure on the vanity mirror lights. Anyone know what bulb that takes? I want lower light LEDs for dome, map and vanity. I did not upgrade the license plate ones as I do not want to bright light my license plate for police. I tend to drive really fast on the highway and do not to help the police get my plate. WOW! What's the top speed of the GS300? I want to find out!
