W5W is 194...I replaced my parking lights with Blue LEDs. interior light is also 194

WY5W may also be 194...not sure yet. I was going to put in LEDs there also.

For LED taillights, the reverse bulb is either 916 or 921.

Actually a W5W is 5W, a 194 is 3.78W. The 168 that I stated is correct at 4.9W.
The WY5W is also 5W but amber in color, therefore the bulb numbers I quoted are also correct.
If someone could provide me with 2006 & 2007 bulb types, if different, I can do the same.

1) Insulate the cockpit from Solar (3M Crystalline Tint) & Convected (insulate sills) heat.
2) Replace evaporator thermostat with an upgraded electronic version to prevent freeze up.
3) Increase airflow into cockpit by removing both driver & passenger side footwell intake panels & blocking 2 outside air intakes in nose.

Everything seems applicable to the 2006 Exige, with the obvious differences of the LED tail, brake, and turn lamps. The driving lamps are H3 although I don't know if they can be replaced. Surprised you didn't list the headlights H1 (low) & H7 (high) for 2005-2006 and H7 (both) for 2007 & up.

From what I've read, most people appear to have better luck with replacing the 6418 with a 39mm bulb.

HI & H7 are easy to find, the others are more difficult because of their UK designations.
