You can use 194/168 LED bulbs in the outer section of the clear corners (side markers). They won't be too hot at all since LEDs emit less heat than regular bulbs. I would go with either the 5 LED Matrix, the Superstar (not the newest one), or the oval wide angle lens LED.

If you want to install LEDs for the turn signals, then you'll need 1156's. The light tower I or II bulbs will work nicely, but you'll need to install load equalizers to get them to flash at the normal rate.

just dont get the 1156/7 turn signal bulbs because then your going to have problems with the resistance.
