Bulb replacement
Anyone know where I can find info on exactly the types of bulbs, and where to buy them for the interior??? I was nosing around tonight popping covers off to examine bulbs. Owner's manual is kind of vague. I want to replace ALL interior lights to superwhites.....the ones in the front map lights, dome light, courtesy lights in doors, and under dash, rear passengers, etc.)
I need 3 things....
1) What kind
2)Where can I buy
3)Pointers/tips/tricks on removal/install
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!

PS Ordered some superwhite LEDs for parking lights and did the install. Color was PERFECT!! Light dispersion was HORRIBLE. Think I'll try them on the rear plate spots. BTW, anyone know how to swap those out??? So far LEDs seem way too directional.

Been there done that
Already tried the search feature. Came up without any real answers. Went through six pages of hits and still no dice.
BTW does Lexus make a service manual for the GS that we could buy at a dealership?? If so any idea how much it would cost??

PS all the web sites I've seen(nextcollection, tuneshops, xtreme, trendcruiser,etc) only list exterior bulbs!! Ok some of them mention something about the dome light, but nothing about the interior.

I want to replace ALL interior bulbs
wut blubs do you want to change?? I know about every bulb in the GS. =]
a)dome light....which size?? The 31mm, or the bigger size??
b)lights in the front seat foot wells under the dash. I don't even know what type of bulb goes there.
c)front seat map lights. I didn't even manage to get the stock ones out without the fear of breaking something. What type are they??
d)Sunvisor vanity lights. What size are they???
e)What lights look good in the clear sides, and is there an easy way to change them out?? I've already got the clears on order, but they haven't arrived yet. I'm assuming they'll come with installation instructions....bad assumption???
