Default Interior lights

Am I missing any interior lights (not including the dash and mirror lights)? Going to change them all out to led. If anyone conveniently has the bulb sizes, that would be cool. I’m trying to get them as close to the cool, clean stock led Lexus white lighting as possible if anyone has any recommendations on where to purchase. I don’t want extreme, surgery room white. I’m thinking of just using authentic Philips, pricey but I know they’ll be close. Just checked the retrofit source and don’t even see interior lighting from them so I guess the Visions are discontinued…

1 front dome light
2 front map lights
4 door puddle lights
2 rear map lights
2 glove box lights

2 trunk lights

The kits usually don't have the correct bulbs. I believe you need some bas9 but they just give you a bunch of t10 and festoon bulbs.

Yes, the kits usually suck. This is what I found for the bulb sizes. Someone correct me if I’m wrong

1 front dome light. 31 mm
2 front map lights. Ba9s
4 door courtesy lights. 194
2 rear map lights. Ba9s
2 glove box lights. 37
2 side mirror puddle lights. 194
2 trunk lights. 194

I plan on just using regular yellow halogens for the 4 vanity mirrors (2 front and 2 rear)

I’m assuming the rear map lights that are next to the hanger hook for a jacket use the same bulbs as the front map lights next to the dome light. I don’t see anything about the rears in that thread
