Ummmmm. The title is meant as a joke. Lighten up people. Indeed they are LEDs and not HIDs. Didn't you see the in the first post? Anyway, just sharing the mod progress...

Looks great......Which LEDs did you use? Wide angle? Brightness? How many bulbs per light?
Thanks
Thanks
So far I've replaced 14. I haven't figured out how to access the glovebox light and the lights on the side view mirrors outside. I will not put LEDs in the headlight housing as they may melt due to the heat. A nice glass Polarg bulb will do in there. I will also leave the amber front turn signal bulbs. If you get the right kind of bulbs they are just as bright as glass bulbs. LED technology has improved on lumens over the years. As far as the bulb types, your manual has some info but its best to take the bulbs out and make sure what type you are replacing, especially the festoon bulbs (you need to measure the length). I've attached a guide for you all:
Qty where bulb type
2x reverse 921
1x glovebox 37
2x running board 168
4x interior dome 168
4x inside door
courtesy lights 168
1x trunk cargo DE3175 festoon
2x vanity mirrors festoon 1-1/8"L & 1/4W
1x over third row festoon 1-1/4"L & 3/8"W a DE3175 like the
trunk/cargowill fit
2x parking lights 168 (GLASS I wouldn't recommend LED due to the
heat
Hope this helps.
I'll post pics of the other installs later.

LMAO! FINALLY! After being perplexed for so long on how to get to the courtesy light bulbs on the underside of the side view mirrors, I came across a post on CL on another topic that showed how to remove the mirror. The bulb is accessible after removing the mirror. I'm laughing so hard because out of all the bulbs I replaced, these were probably the easiest bulbs to replace and it took me the longest to figure it out. Here is a pic of the LEDs in action in the courtesy lights on the underside of the side view mirrors.

I think "things" can be over done

i think the OP meant to say LEDs ;-)
i did all of that and even put LEDs on the exterior as well. puddle lights in the mirrors and the lights on the running boards.
as far as replacing the puddle lights in the mirrors go it's much easier than the link that VVRX provided. all you have to do is remove the glass and you have access to the bulbs. there is no need to take the mirror cover off.
