help with LED's
here are the bulb types on my 06 coupe.
Headlight: D2S
Parking Light: 168
Turn Signals: 7440
Fog:Hl-55w
Plate: 168
Reverse: 921
Sidemarker: 194
Map/Dome: DE3175
Step: DE3022
Trunk: 158
im looking to change most of them to LED's. how do i know how many LED's to get in a bulb? VLEDS sells an 18, 24, 36 led bulb. how do i know what to get?

The map/dome, step lights are all festoon style bulbs - i think the ones i bought have 4 leds - they look good.
I used bulbs with 12 leds for the reverse lights
for the plate and sidemarker lights - i used bulbs with 4 LEDs
- they do not recommend LEDs for the City Lights/parking lights - so i used a PIAA bulb in there
- I bought some turn signals with a ton of LEDS - but didn't install because they made the turn signal "hyper blink" and i didn't feel like installing a relay
- hope that helps

I am contemplating removing the corner lights as well... Did that on my last car.
The hyperblink does exist - i installed them and hit the turn signal and it was hyper blinking so yes it does exist.
I had my clear corners painted to match my car too. 
Also, unfortunately, hyperblink does exist... I ran into that problem myself.
Also, SMT LEDs are much better than standard LEDs. By much, I mean MUCH.
