How to: LED tailight replacement
Instructions on how to replace stock tailight bulbs with LED's (or can be followed for regular bulb replacement)
I bought these particular bulbs from autolumination.com it's the Light Tower II. I've tried out many different bulbs and these finally work.
20 Powerful Wide Angle Oval LEDS
These Bulbs have Advanced Patent Pending Control Circuitry Found in no Other LED Bulbs
These are the most advanced led bulb assemblies ever produced.
More powerful than any other automotive leds made.
15 side facing LEDS
5 forward facing LEDS

I referred to the sticky for bulb sizes:

We require the 3157 bulb (not 1157) So you'll need 4 3157 Red for the rear (dual circuit, parking light/blinker or brake)
The front Ambers are 1157 (socket type not wedge type)
Here's a link to a video of the blinkers in front:

I also ordered 2 3ohm (One on each side covers front and rear) load equalizers as well because I have the fast blinking dilema you get with LED's. The load resistor simulates the resistance of the incandescent bulb and restores the turn signal to normal operating function with the led. Here's the diagram to install these:

Onto the install...

Before and after pics:

As you can see they are much brighter than the stock bulbs and the color in person is a way deeper red than stock. I also replaced the reverse bulbs and side marker bulbs with LED's looks sweet
So my entire rear housing is LED I used the matrix LED's from autolumination.
Here's the bulbs I used for the rear sidemarker lights
(I also used these for the reverse,footwells, license plate and stock alarm light)
