Courtesy Lights, which bulb type?

I cannot seem to find a clear answer. Which bulb type is the 2002-2003 interior door lights(aka "Courtesy Lights","Step lights")?
And do you just pop out the lense cover (similar to the side markers) to remove/replace the bulb?
TIA

Is it me, or these 194 Wedge LEDs dont have as much out put?

I put in the PIAA High Intensity Luminosity Diode LED Wedge Bulbs for the running lights in the heads and though they are great color and style, seem to not have as much output as the halogen?

What is the difference with a 168 bulb and a 194?
This source is not showing the same # as another source I was using?

Why Im asking is becasue I put 194 where they are saying 168 is? (the parking/running lights) Am I OK !?

They are the same type of bulb. The only difference is the voltage between the two. The 168 bulb is slightly brighter (~5W) than the 194 (~3W).
