The two in the overhead console and the footwells are 194 bulbs.

The courtesy overhead lamp is a 36mm or 41mm fastoon bulb.

I have white LEDs. I think they a 7 LEDs on my 194s, which are just about right for what I want(bright).

The fastoon bulb I have has I think 12 LEDs on it, and its not any brighter than a stock bulb. I will be ordering one with as many LEDs as I can get at some point.

Im not sure about the door lights. Im pretty sure the plastic cover just pops off, but when I try to do that, it seems so close to coming off, but at the breaking point of the plastic also. So I havent checked what bulbs they are.

They should all be the 194 style bulbs.

The lights in the door panels are 194s too. Just take the door panel off and you can see where it goes. The socket just pulls out with the bulb.
