Default help with choosing led bulbs

Ok, going to take the leap and do led bulbs on my 2000 WS6. I'm going to do the back first. I'm thinking of getting them from sbl what are the model numbers for the bulbs?

I checked the site but was a little confused. They were showing a few bulbs for each item.

if your ordering from superbrightleds, just type the stock bulb number in the search bar. license plate is 194. 3rd brake is 921. reverse and tails depends on the sockets your car has, if they are twist in style they fit 2157 bulbs, if they are wedge style they fit 3157 i believe. Although leds in the tail lights will be dimmer than stock and it might be unsafe. for the footwell courtesy light i used 9.5 inch strips.

That's kinda why I was asking about which bulbs to get. I was concerned about the light being too dim as well. I figured someone has done this all ready and know which bulbs to get.

There's a thread that breaks down what bulbs convert to what.

I think that the 3157-SCK is throwing me off. The rest seems straight forward.
