Changing The Interior Lights to Hyperwhite

I decided to change all of the interior lights to hyperwhite to match the HID's.

The maplights are both basic wedge bulbs, so that was easy.

Now the door lights are more of a pain in the ass. I'm trying to find the correct ones from Polarg and it looks like the M-16 or the M-28. Can anyone verify which you need for what?

I think M-16's go in the doors and an M-28 for the dome light, but I'm not positive.

In my 99 2.3, the trunk festoon bulb was identical to the door and glove box (3022, it's a 30mm bulb). The only one that was longer was the dome light (3910, it's a 39mm bulb).

I guess the 97's have a 39mm trunk light, while the 99's have a 30mm trunk light.

I thought all CL's used 194/168 wedge bulbs for their maplights, but I remember someone sent me a PM a while back saying that on their 97 the maplights were 3022's (30mm) festoon bulbs.

Do 97's have a slightly different lighting scheme? We should catalogue the differences because so far I've just assumed the 97-99 line was identical lighting-wise.

Can someone with a 97 confirm the type of bulb used in the maplights are 30mm festoons and whether the trunk bulb is 30mm or 39mm?
