Brian right? Will he know what bulbs I need for my interior, or should I have the part numbers ready for him?

Green?

I would have to say yes. I swapped out my stock bulbs for hyperwhite LED's I got from ledautomotive and I love the look.

I did this the other day. Aren't the LED's supposed to be brighter? The regular bulbs I had seemed to be brighter then the led's I put in. I chose the white led's. But they look more bluish then white.
There were different options like wide angle or 6 or 12 led versions. It all confused me so I got just standard led's.
