Light Bulb Part #/Name for Cross Reference

I am looking all over, but I cannot seem to find the bulbs part # for cross reference. I am looking to replace the bulbs to LEDs in my 89' 944 Turbo, but I want to know the bulb's part # first. I do not want the Porsche OEM part #. I just need the generic part # of the bulb (for example, bulb 194, H3, H4, 9007, 7506, etc.).

The bulbs I am looking for are:

- The glove box light bulb (I saw Philips 12818 12V 3W but I cannot seem to find it online).
- The interior dash lights that light up the buttons and controls (I only managed to reach the defroster vent bulb on the center top of the dash which says OS 24-30/30, but cannot find any information on this bulb).

I'm assuming the other buttons and controls use that same bulb unless I am mistakened. Do they even make LEDs for these tiny bulbs?

Any information on this will be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

John that might be the most confusing lookup method ever.

Not an overload. Just had to go like three places to get numbers before I could get to a screen to see a price. It should be simple one click like pelican.

I've checked both the superbrightleds.com and sylvania before. I know the bulbs from sylvania's site like the tail lights, reverse lights, dome, etc. I'm basically looking for bulbs that replace the glove box light bulb and interior button lights. I want to basically change those dim old looking "yellowish/orangish" interior lights for the buttons to a brighter color (possibly white or blue) if that is even possible. Thanks guys!

I got both blue and white from superbrights... I don't recommend the blue, it's a bit too far gone to ricey. Pure white was much nicer, very clean looking. Still have to replace the bulbs in my combo gauge (early interior), but otherwise it's all done including dome light, and is much nicer...

I know this is months later, but did you ever locate the light bulb OS 24-30/30? I have a client that needs 50 pieces for a Wurlitzer jukebox, 1977. I have searched every where and can't locate this lamp and I am in lighting for business! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
