I replaced my dome, map and rear cargo lights with LED's from garage1217, auto illumination and oznium.  I had the orange LED's in my gauge changed out along with the window switch, mode button, vsc button, oem radio and HVAV controls.  I also added cold cathode tubes in my footwells and under the front seats. 

I would start with the dome-oznium ultra thin dome light in cool white- and map lights- 194 wedge bulb from garage 1217- super bright white.

Good Luck

Sounds like you may be going for a brighter interior than I did.  I just finished last week and used 12LED natural white wedges in the maps (superbrightleds.com), two 6 MSD5050 white PCB panels in the dome (eBay) and a 2 MSD5050 cool white festoon in the cargo (superbrightleds.com).  I don't plan to change the others.

I went to a local auto parts store and picked up 2 flat 20 led lights
i connected them both together and plugged it in to my dome light using the kit they provide

my dome light is really bright now   Cheesy

i still have to go the online method for the other bulbs like
194 and 7440 because the ones at the store aren't the ones i liked
 
pics will be up soon

FWIW -- I bumped my Cargo lamp from the 2 SMD5050 cool white festoon to an Ebay 6 SMD5050 cool white festoon.  I like it better Smiley!
