Halogen bulb locations ? Going to LED

I've been wanting to go to led for some time now but I finally find a site that sells led bulbs for the infiniti i35. I understand I could have got few bulbs here and "precison led" sells them special ally for the i35. Now my question is what bulbs do I have to replace?
2 license plate
1 dome
2 map
2 city
1 trunk
2 door /step and there's 1 under the dash for lighting.
Did I get everyone ? Not doing the backup or fogs thankyou.

Which is under the dash? My I30 doesn't have one, but maybe it's different in the I35. You can also get one for the glove box. For the city lights, you may want a bulb with a sort of heatsink. With my HIDs (aftermarket) the ambient temperature for the bulb was too hot and the LEDs started burning out. But the better engineered bulbs have been lasting fine. As I've posted before, I highly recommend VLEDs since their bulbs are great and you can get the 5000k pure white (no blue or yellow) color which I think goes best with my beige interior. Black or beige I'd get 6000k, which is what most bulbs like off eBay end up being.

Oh, never knew that. The city lights are the small T10 bulbs inside the headlight housing and reflect in the low beam reflector.

Yes! Wondering if I should do the fogs light and cornering lights? What's do you think and what about reverse bulbs which ones?

If you do the fog lights and cornering lights they may not be so useful anymore. I asked Joeker82 since he had LED cornering lights and he said they were really just for looks and not utility then. Same could most likely be said for fog lights, but I never really notice a difference with them and I just always leave them on. Although I don't know how long ago he had them and there are new types of LEDs on the market since even a year ago. Just have to be careful with cooling since really high-power LEDs will put out a lot of heat and cause their lifespan to drop significantly. VLEDs has a 2000lm H3 kit which would probably be good for the fogs, but it's $120 and you'd probably get more use from just putting HIDs in them, for 1/3 the price. As for me, I put in PIAA Extreme White bulbs in the cornering lights and Philips CrystalVision Ultra fog lights so that they wouldn't look so yellow compared to my HIDs.

I purchased license plate bulbs, and all interior lights on ebay. Inexpensive, and they work just great!
