Go to the sylvania site listed near the beginning and plug in the values for your car.

Make a list of your stock ones like I did for mine. Then go to this link: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...Disp=/1157.htm

It's the 12 volt bulb page. If you click on the kind of bulb you're looking for and read the descriptions, you'll see stuff like the 1157 = BAY15D, etc. After that, it's up to you to decide how much you wanna spend. More leds = brighter. Too few leds = not street legal or worth it.

I just went there and they've changed their site a little. Its more confusing. But to get to the main list of bulbs, you have to click the "buy now" button. when a little window pops up, you have to click in the top left to see all category items. That'll give you the main list.

I used 19 LED bulbs. I thought they were bright enough but my roommate the cop says he'd pull me over to check. You might wanna go for the 24 or 30 LED bulbs.

If you post up your list of stock replacement needs, I'll post up the LED equivalent I'd recommend.

I think I'll do front and rear turning signals, brake lights/tail lights and dome lighting.. unless you recommend something else

This is what I've put together
turning signals (front and back)
front-3496
rear-1156
tail/stop lights-2057
dome light-3022

I recommend:
front turn signals:
rear turn signals: BA15 A24 amber LED with a wide viewing angle
tail/stop:
dome: 3022-x9 LED W9 festoon in white

I see your confusion now. The 4496 and 2057 aren't even listed in their shop. Dunno where to go from here.
