manuel, the bulbs in the interior are a few different sizes. With that being said, I think you are mis-speaking as to what you are after. Are you after HID lights inside or are you after LED lights for the inside? Big difference. Most of your interior bulbs are down in the 5 watt range and put out minimal light (except for the overhead dome lights, but those are only 20W bulbs as it is). The smallest HID bulb for vehicles I know of is a 35W bulb that would output about 10 times what the overhead lights would put out. So, it would be way overkill for what you are after.
If you are looking at LEDs, that is a different story. I would say to check out a website like that for Sylvania Lighting and see what they have in the way of bulb listings. from there you can do some looking around and seeing what you can find. If you are after some LED light fixtures, let me know. I can give you some feedback of what I have experienced with LED bulbs and what to look for and what to avoid.

manuel, take a look at: 2X 9W Aluminum T10 Festoon Car Dome Reading Interior COB LED Light Lamp White Q1 | eBay
I installed these in my car in the two dome lights and my interior is very bright now. THinking about installing these into the map lights too. They are "plug and play". So, no modification is needed and they simply plug into the factory bulb base. The big thing you need to keep in mind is that the plug needs to be orientated correctly, otherwise the LED will not light (polarity sensitive).
