ok so i found some info...The parking lights (idk what bulb that is) is a 3457Rear turn signals (3156)Tail and stop lights (3157) reverse (912)

Now the thing is if i want a matching set, how many of each bulb do i order.. the names arent simple to differentiate..

Hey man I've been looking around and thinking about doing the same...I want to replace every possible bulb with LEDs and HIDs for the headlight...however, there might be a problem with the rear tail combination lamps....its not as easy as switching to LED lamps....especially with the tail turn signals..i think those are 3156? Would need add an electronic flasher, because the one in the car is for a thermal flasher so your led might burn out due to wattage issues. Also I've read its not a good idea to mix in thermal bulbs with LEDs in the same assembly due to heat and also may cause the LED to wear out.....but anyways this is the website I'm thinking of ordering all my bulbs from and it will tell u all the issues with tail lights. Hope you figure it out, cause im lazy and prolly won't get around to getting this done anytime soon lol...

what you need for the back is little piece.. i forgot the name.. so it knows the frequency of flashing.. or else it will go superfast.. idk about burning out though... no led i ever owned has burnt out.. they also produce no heat and use less power

You guys could just look in your manual for all the bulb sizes. I believe they list every single bulb in there.

Dude just check the link I sent, im just relaying what I read.....I didn't think LEDs burnt out either. And I also know already they don't produce heat themselves, what i was saying was if you mix them in next to thermal bulbs, they may malfunction due to the extreme heat next to them....usually in the headlight assembly, but tail lights may apply to this as well.
