Default Changing the bulbs in a 2015 Camry XLE

I have a 2015 Camry XLE with the sunroof. I want to change the interior bulbs to LEDs to give a better and brighter light. Unfortunately, the owner's manual doesn't discuss changing these bulbs.


I have spoken to the folks at XenonDepot, and they don't have a clue.


I have several questions:


-- Does anyone know how to get to these bulbs to remove them?
-- Does anyone know what the number of these bulbs are? In the owners manual (in the specification-light bulbs section) it mentions the front and rear interior/personal lights are wedge base bulbs, but not what number they are. The manual also talks about an Interior light as a double end bulb, but I have no clue what this is (perhaps for the non-sunroof car).
-- Does anyone know of a good place to get the LED replacement lamps?


Thanks for all your help.


Steve

Check the manual for a list of bulbs used in the car listed by part number or wattage?

The interior reading/map lights may use a wedge base bulb, model 2825.

LED bulbs are available as 2825 and 168/194/2825 (one size fits all). See link below:

The bulbs pulls out from its base.

The dome light may be a double ended bulb also called a festoon cap bulb, see link below:

http://www.bulbtown.com/category_s/436.htm

This bulb is held in a each end by a metal tab.

At one time OEM bulbs were slightly smaller and having a slightly different design. A standard size bulb would fit but it needed to be forced into place. Available LED bulbs may also be slightly larger then OEM. See link below:

LED bulbs for both base styles are available at auto parts stores and places like Wal-Mart.

The internet has video's on removing the dome light. The cover needs to be gently pried off.
