Bulbs for '99 4Runner Dashboard
 
I've had one bulb which illuminated the fan speed toggle switch, out for a few years and I've left it as-is figuring to change them all the next time I need to take the dash off. I have to replace the stereo, so now is the time to do this. A couple prep questions:

1- I think the bulbs set which go in the instrument panel are different than those in the center column. I'm not finding which they are in my Haynes manual or search by VIN (although there are bulbs but it's not clear which go where). Can anyone tell me the specific names/type and part numbers?

2- The last time I looked at the bulbs I believe they were clear giving off white light. However the illumination of the dash is green. Where does the green come from - is there a color filter inside the receptacles the bulbs go into?

3- I'd like the change the green to blue and I understand there are LED bulbs to do that which fit inside the stock bulb sockets. I think they come in size T5 and T10. If 2- above, is a filter, then I need to pick a color that when mixed with green will make blue. If anyone has any tips about this, please advise.

Thank you
