been working on the same "on-going" project myself. The corner lights are 194s. I'm not exactly sure what size the long bulb is for the backups, but without a doubt, 194s can fit in them. I bought some 12-LED HyperWhite 194s for them. And the turns are 3157, same as the tails. But fair warning, if you place LEDs in the turn signals, they are going to blink "annoyingly" fast, so buy one of the kits to regulate:
LOAD RESISTOR KITS
One LOAD Resistor is required for each turn signal bulb
6 Ohm, 50 Watt resistors can be connected across the turn signal bulbs to simulate the load of a regular filament bulb (2 Amp load). This will solve LED related turn signal problems such as hyper flashing or burnt out bulb indications. Resistor measures 1.96L x .64W x .60H inches, leads are 12 inches long.
Kit Includes gel filled moisture resistant splice taps.

^hahaha... i just posted a pic of those not too long ago. i think they are closer to 4(after tax). and if your local one doesn't have them, tell them to order you some "with no shipping".. called "direct2U"
the Catalog is 274.0120

You're canceling out the energy saving benefit of having LEDs with that resistor. You're better off changing the flasher to one that isn't dependent on load.

Well, when i swap out to LEDs I'm going to get a flasher with an adjustable rate to it, or possibly a strobe type flasher. I don't need a resistor just eating up electricity making heat.

How would you go about changing the flasher? Where would you find a replacement that would work with leds, and what would be involved?
