Questions about various light bulbs

First is, can I replace the bulb that shines onto the doors window/locking controls? The light is sort of dim, and kinda useless. I wanna replace them with blue LED's so that I can more easily see the window switches.

Also, can the bulbs that are located in the cigarette/coin holder box in front of the shifter be switched out as well? Along with the one facing the key ignition? If any of these are possible, is there a guide on how to replace them, and what kind of bulbs should I use?


Also, the passenger window can't be controlled from the passenger switch, although it can be controlled from the driver side. Is it possible that it may not be connected on the passenger side? Cause the car had scissor doors before, but they were replaced with the OEM hinges, so maybe they didn't connect it back?

Just small interior bulbs, online or auto stores carry them.

Vertical door kits require the factory harness to be extended, chances are the original owner messed up the wiring when doing this. Only way to check is a couple of free hours and a multimeter.

Do you know what the bulb number size is? Btw, those bulbs I'm wanting to replace aren't the curtsey lights that are on the bottom corner.

Dang, hopefully once they remove the panels to install the door checks (dealer replaced the vertical doors with the original hinge, but they just slapped them on, and didn't even align the door, so they sag terribly, especially the driver side, and don't have the door checks) I can ask the body shop to look into it.
