I have the High Power white LEDs on my car, and they were recommended by other members as the brightest. They look great, very white with a slight bluish hint to them.
The install is very straightforward, just use a flathead screwdriver to pop off and remove the 2 front (maybe 3, can't exactly recall) clip-type plastic bolts (sorry, can't think of a better way to describe them) on the wheel well fender. Then, you can reach up and remove the old light housing (I think it's a 1/4 CCW turn), pop out the old bulb and put in your new one. Make sure it works before putting it all back together, because direction matters for the LEDs.
The bulb type you are looking for is the 194.
Hope this helps!

That's what I'm running. I have yet to hear anything but positives from members who have the same bulbs (except someone here or there whose burned out sooner than they expected, although that seems to be a rare occurrence).
I have the high power white in my clearance strip, clear corners, interior map lights, door lights and reverse lights. Only thing I'd warn you about is the reverse lights, while they look cool as hell, are too dim to be functional.
Oh, and they now sell LED fog lights for the G coupe... If I hadn't recently bought some Sylvania Silverstar Ultras (which suck, they're boring yellowish-white, not at all what I expected) I'd pick up a pair of those, too.

Don't know if you want the other bulb information, and you could search it but I'll save you the time: (oh yeah, I have them in my license plate lights, too!)
License plate, clearance strip, clear corners are 194's
Reverse lights are 921
Dome lights and door lights are 3022
Good luck!

Damn bro I'm sorry... gave you some bad information
dome light = map light
and both the dome light and the lights under the door are now listed on their website as 31mm festoons - I got the 9 bulb ones.

and yeah just vLEDs... ordering them all at once will save on shipping. They were prompt each time I ordered from them (maybe 3-5 business days).
Highly recommend them.
