Depends on the color you want. You can go to vleds.com and get you some 194 4light bulbs. I purchased some hid white from them. They are super bright, but have a blue tint to them. Anything besides white will attract some unwanted attention.

What is a good replacement for the housing? Mine has rusted and I cannot get the screws out because they have been stripped. The whole housing is gone from my other car so I need to get something in there to light up.

I did the same. I have VLeds HID White bulbs in the doors, dome, reverse, license plate, and corner lights.

Here's some pics:
