Question Interior Lighting Questions

hey all, not sure if you seen my posts I put up with all of the 6th and 7th gen light types, stumbled upon quite the detailed list for any car really figured it was time I posted something useful rather then just questions all the time, but here we are again, another question, here it goes....

im going to be swapping out all my interior lighting to a different color, now I know what led bulbs I need for the dope light, mirror, glove box, and trunk, and I already know the bulbs in the dash cluster are led which I am more then capable of desoldering and resoldering "something to keep in mind for those of you in my area" but what about the H/AC controls, steering wheel buttons, and the door switches? are those also LED or are they bulbs? read around the forum here for the last hour or so and didnt see any specific mention on the places I have in question.

Thanks In Advance For Any Help

They are all also LEDs, and thank you for posting that list, I'm sure it will come in very helpful.

Might not want to put LEDs in your dope light, btw.

The ones I've seen in the doors all seem to be bulb type, but I cant remember if they are 5 or 3 mm. I think I got 5's and they were too big. I can measure in the morning I have a switch in the shop.
