Default Tail light bulb sizes?

I'm thinking to swap my reverse and brake lights on my tail lights with LEDs (95-96),
Has anyone done this or has a example to show? Any problems that you went through?

I run '95 tails on my '92

1156 - brakes + reverse
194 - flashers

When you you switch to LED flashers you will get hyperblink, or super fast flashing.

'You will need to perform one of the mods found here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...ml#post9929006

As a result of putting LEDs in the brake lights, you will get a brake warning light on your dash. The fix for that is in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...300-sc400.html

Will I still deal with those hyperblink issues and brake warning light if I got the LEDs the same wattage as the halogen bulbs?

I'm very tempted to start a google docs spreadsheet and list out all the LED bulbs that would fit our vehicle.

Its not rocket surgery. A quick google search would have let the OP figure it out. People are getting lazy as fawk.

oh man, Rocket Surgery is the hardest kind of surgery there is...
but really, there are so many different sizes of LED bulbs out there (height of the bulb) is frustrating...
194 and 1156 sockets are common, but the clearance that you get to play with varies from where the bulb is located...
I bought a pack of 194s during Amazon Prime day sale for interior and license plate, turned out to be too tall it fit in any of the locations. So I sent it back....
