I'm looking at LED's for the interior and I need a little help to see if I'm correct or not. Mine has powerwindows, powerlocks, powermirrors, push-button 4x4, overhead console w map lights and dome light w reading lights behind OHC. These are the bulbs I've found:

Gauge Cluster: 6 x 194bulbs (Blue)
HVAC: 4 x 74bulbs (Blue)
A/C + recirc buttons: 2 x 74bulbs (Blue)
Doors (white+red marker): 2 x 194bulbs (White)
Under dash/floor lights: 2 x 194bulbs (White)
Glovebox: 1 x 194bulb (White)
Ashtray: 1 x 194bulb (White)
Dome Light: 1 x 42mm Festoon (White)
Dome Reading: 2 x Ridgid Loop 44mm (White)
Map Lights in OHC: 2 x 194 (White)
4x4 buttons: UNKNOWN (1 x 74 maybe?) (Blue)
Airbag switch: UNKNOWN (1 x 74 maybe?) (Blue)
Headlight Switch: 1 x 4mm neo wedge (Blue)
Driverside, Powerwindows: 1 x 4mm neo wedge (Blue)
Driverside, Powerlocks: 1 x 3mm neo wedge (Blue)
Driverside, Powermirrors: UNKNOWN (1 x 3mm or 4mm neo wedge maybe?) (Blue)
Pass.side, Powerwindows: 1 x 4mm neo wedge (Blue)
Pass.side Powerlocks: 1 x 3mm neo wedge (Blue)

Exterior (since they are broken)
3rd Break: 2 x 194 (Red)
Cargo: 2 x 194 (White)

Is it right? Does anyone know what the UNKNOWN once are supposed to be? Thanks!

I got my LED's yesterday, now I'm just waiting for the weekend.
On another note, I did some junkyard searching yesterday and found original front and transfer case skidplates, my front one is missing and I'm not sure about the other one. Found oem fender flares too but they want $850 for a set, they're new but that's just ridiculous in my opinion... I guess I'll just stick with naked fenders.

Weekend update

Friday afternoon I did the yearly saftey inspection and for a 17 year old truck that hasn't had it's inspections done for 7 years it went pretty damn well, only one note, "loose ball joint right front, upper" (at least that's what I think it's called in english). This means I have a month to fix that and then do a new inspection but only on that part and then she's good for another year.

Saturday was more productive. I started the interior LED conversion, since some of them has to be soldered I figured I'd strat with the easy once. Only a few left tho: dome reading lights, headlight switch, pw, pl, pm, airbag and 4x4. I also put in my LED's for 3rd brake and cargo, but cargo didn't work (regular bulbs and blue LED's worked but not the white once, I think I know why tho...)
I also took 5 seconds of my time and removed the awful Air Bag-sticker that was on the passenger side where the airbag is, I can't believe that after 17 years noone had removed it...
Then I removed the grille so I could get those headlight washer of, which was easier said then done. Had to get some help from my dad and he could barely get them of... and for now I have 3 big holes on each side but that'll be fixed soon.
