please do not do license plate lights. If you de LEDs there all it does is shine white light on the ground below the plate and it looks like $hit. IMO anyways

It should be a 194 bulb, get a packed 194 LED to get a reasonable amount of dispersion. I run one in mine and it looks perfect at night. Remember on your 1156 & 1157's to check and see if you have bayonet or spade style connections. I think it was late 96 early 97 they went to spade.
