Default White Lexus needs WHITE lights

Okay so i think my first DIY project I am going to undertak is making all the lights in the car white, I replaced my headlights and fog lights about 2 weeks ago, but I bought 80W bulbs and my mechanic said i need to change these fast or im going to burn my connector. I need to know a few things before i begin to do this

1. What kind of bulbs do I need for the headlights and fog lights, also what are the benefits of HID bulbs?

2. How do I change the smaller bulbs that are always on (DRL's i believe)?

3. How do I change the lights in my dashboard?

4. How do i Change the lights on the doors?

Ill leave the interior lights thats fine

5. When my car is in reverse I cant see **** and my windows arent tinted, but i feel like the sideview mirror glass is , would replacing my reverse light bulbs help?

6. Side markers.. where can I get em, how do i change em?

thats all for now,

thanks guys

1. I'm not sure what the fogs are but any auto store will have the chart with it in there. the headlights are 9006 and the best way to get white lights if your talkin about what i think is to prolly go with lyk sum 5000k or 6000k HIDs. u get those for pretty cheap at this site http://www.ddmtuning.com but remember HID colors can alter depending on wat company u get em from. HIDs are great and really bright. here are mine. they are 1000k.


2. in the smaller light its to bulbs. one is the DRL n that is a dual setting from ur high beams. sum1 sed u can turn those off but i did the DIY n it doesnt always work. i got new high beams(9005) but they still look yellow during the day even tho they are blue lights. the other light in the smaller circle is a wedge light and u can simply change that b/c its right underneath the high beam. in my car i have blue LEDs that i use. thats y they look bright blue. u can get sum white ones off ebay. i have white LEDs in my license plate bulbs. u can kinda see the way the white LEDs look in this pic of the back of my car
3. IDK
4. sorry not sure. lol
5. you could. i heard of ppl who but HIDs in there. it may b costly to replace everything wit HIDs but it wuld def b brighter
6. to take out the side markers u have to take out the fogs n kinda jus reach around. its two screws. i forgot the mm size but i changed mine to smoked clear ones. it only took about 30 min. i got mine off ebay but there are sum regular clear ones on advanceJDMparts.com also i thnk there is a DIY for changing em on here. jus do a search for w/e u need. for the most part it shuld come up.

hope this helps.
