Default LED Lights Help

I have an 88 coupe and I want to change just interior and reverse lights to LED. Can anyone please tell me where I can find the LED's needed for this? Also are they a direct replacement plug in???

For back up lights go to hidexpertstore 168 on eBay. West Coast LEDs 1156 replacements do not fit.

superbrightleds.com. You pick out your own bulbs and colors. Prices are good. I did my 88 interior, fogs, and underhood lights. I had mounting issues with the back ups but installed them any way.

I found the bulbs I needed for my 89 and went on ebay to buy them. I have not picked mine up yet, as I just ordered last week.

Here is my thread.

Sometimes. If the LED bulb has a diode bridge inside then it will just plug in and work. LEDs are polarized and won't work if they are backwards.
