Default interior lighting

Just got a 98 GS400 a few weeks ago. The previous owner replaced all the interior bulbs with green ones and I hate it. I want to change everything to white. Does anyone know all the bulb sizes for everything inside the car including the courtesy lights on the doors?

Front Dome = DE3157 (31MM Festoon)
Rear Dome (2) = 194
Map (2) = BA9S
Doors (4) = 194
Glove Box = 74
Key = 74
Under Dash (2) = 74

This is all off my memory so I apologize if I miss or mistake one. Search the Lighting forum and you are guaranteed to find a comprehensive list.

EDIT:
I suggest you use this opportunity to go LED - see mine HERE

For the front map lights I would go with this LED panel. These panels will offer you the brightest and most durable output.

They also have the ability to fade on/off unlike other low cost alternatives. Please view this link for a video of our LED Dome light panels in action:

i was JUST fixing to link to this thread. best led thread IMHO....be nice next time OP if u would search.

be careful though u can spend some $ doing all leds....im upwards in the $700 range from doing all (yes all) interior and exterior bulbs and then switching up some to my personal taste. i just bought luxury mods dome light to compare it to my own V-LED dome light. will post up bought it soon. its supposed to be here today actually. if u buy from v-led be sure to use a discount code. i dont think clublexus works anymore but i think my.is still works
