You need to specify which bulbs.

Front dome light has 2 different types.
Rear dome
Glovebox
Footwell
Boot
Licence plate
Vanity mirror

I don't actually know the sizes I'm afraid but just to point out the different bulbs so another member may help.

You could buy the specific bulb from aliexpress. I did all my interiors. Full swap to led for only €20

These are the types I had in my kit when I replaced mine with LED. The Festoons can be either 36mm or 39mm, it varies between cars.

Glovebox - 501 wedge (single side)
Footwell - 501 wedge (single side)
Boot - 36mm / 39mm Festoon
Vanity Mirror - 36mm / 39mm Festoon
Front Dome - 2x 501 wedge (360 spread), some also have 1x 36mm / 39mm Festoon (My 04 GT has this one)
Rear Dome - 3x 501 wedge (360 spread)

I believe the licence plate are also 36mm / 39mm Festoon but I've not changed this one out yet.
