Default LS400 Light Types?

1995 Lexus LS400

what sizes fit into the headlights/interior lights? the owners manual leaves a lot out and gives no bulb no. im looking to do all the lights in LED except for the head/fogs which i want silvania (but dont know which size since they say its 900x and manual says HB4/B3/4). what is the best replacement for the Dome light(in the front?)

Thanks in advance

Technically they're not off because HB3 is the same as 9005...and 9005 is essentially the same as 9006, but without the shield/cap.

9005 (HB3) on left and 9006 (HB4) on right:

so if HB3=9005 and HB4=9006, then what is H4?

Additionally, i want to do something similar to engin_ear and his GS, but im unsure if its the same bulb no.s for a LS
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=161745

im looking for a pair of superwhite bulbs for the maplights, and a mixture of Blue and Green/Purple LED lighting for the footwells, courtesy lights, and dome light. any help would be appreciated and would somebody please tell me if the sylvania replacement guide is 100% acaccurate?

Thanks

H4 = 9003.

I used polarg M-26 bulbs for the maplights in my '91:
http://216.82.69.117/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=M-26

You can get the LEDs at http://autolumination.com/194.htm or http://www.superbrightleds.com/1157.htm. You'll be needing #74's for the footwells and #194/168 for the courtesy lights (I suggest the Oval Wide Angle lens bulbs, but the 4 to 6 LED would work nicely as well). I wouldn't suggest an LED for the dome light because it does not put out enough lighting compared to a halogen superwhite bulb.
It seems the sylvania replacement guide is accurate so far, but I wouldn't say it's 100%...it's more like 98%.
