Superbrightleds.com has just about every bulb for cars, and most in lots of colors. They also have a vehicle bulb finder that can tell you which ones you need. On mine they are the t10's, but it may be different on the first gens.

Is it wedge based?

Edit: I mentioned that they may be T10's. The corner lights on your dads s10 have T10's. you could see if those fit than those are the ones you need.

replace them with lower wattage bulbs?

I'd say 27 watts is definately too much for courtesy lighting, considering most headlights are only 55 watts lol

Here is a complete list of every bulb in a '93 and replacement needed:
http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...RG-Results.htm

Here is the link to Auto Zone's "step/courtesy" light (12 watts) that matches what is in my service manual for this application:
Sylvania/Trunk / Cargo Light Bulb (1003LL) | AutoZone.com

hope this helps a little.......
