Interior Replacement Bulbs/LEDS, Project Underway Options

[3TST]

I have hunted around the forum and found various articles about changing the interior lighting color but really can't find anything on the size of the replacement bulbs/led etc.
I know a few people on the forum have done this so can you help me out please.

So I have started pulling things apart and found the following:

Heater Control Unit
- 2 screw/plug-in type - brown base (with green condoms on)
- 14 green (soldered to pcb)
- 2 orange (soldered to pcb)

Hazard Warning Button
- 1 screw/plug-in type - grey base

Ash Tray
- 1 Wedge type

Ignition Surround
- 1 Wedge type

Lighter Socket
- 1 screw/plug-in type - large grey base

Door Switch (window button)
- 1 green (soldered to pcb)

Problem is I have no idea what size bulbs/leds I need to replace them with.
Do I need resistors?
I've seen a couple of references to web sites selling leds and replacement bulbs BUT Does anyone have part numbers?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info.
If you're replacing standard bulbs (#501, #74, etc.) then it is fairly straight forward, that is, replace a #74 bulb with a #74 bulb in the colour you want.
What I'm doing is a little more complex than that...
I'm replacing the LEDs in the heater control unit and window switch.
These are 3mm component LEDs - however, you have different brightnesses and lumination angles.

I have placed an order with SuperBrightLEDs for:
#RL3-R5014 (Red 3mm component LEDs)
#NEOx-R 4mm NEO4-x (Red NeoWedge Instrument LED Bulbs)
#74-RHP (Red 74-xHP Wedge Base LED Bulbs)
Once I have everything done, I'll confirm the part numbers listed above.

I have also just ordered a professional desoldering station and soldering iron kit.
