I might be wrong, but I think it's a 74 bulb.

That's a great idea. I might be doing this myself soon.

I have a few consoles taken apart, I'll see if i have anything that fits. Pretty sure its a wedge bulb though.

Just did this for the first time on my new-to-me 2006IS. Can confirm it's an E74 wedge bulb. The OEM one is covered with a blue silicone slip cover, and pulls straight out of the socket it's in with a pair of needle nose pliers. My blue silicone sleeve disintegrated when I tried to peel it off, so the replacement went in "naked". Still looks fine as nearly as I can tell, although the bulb was burned out when I got the car so I don't have a point of reference.

E74s are available in packs of 10 from Amazon. Note that it's smaller than a regular 74 bulb, which I tried first and found was too large to fit.
