these bulbs will actually work really well with the TL set up.. they are angled:

if you're looking for LED's for the interior, our bulb size is 194 or 168. either one will work. the one you linked is the wrong bulb size and won't work for our car
as for what color to get.... are you trying to upgrade interior lights for function or to be "cool"? alotta these kids around here get blue LEDs for every interior light cause it "looks cool" but when it comes to functionality you can't really see shit with the blue lights compared to white.
i suggest getting white for interior so you actually have light that you can use to see shit. i would use blue in areas that light isn't that important like the front doors, center console, glove compartment, trunk. in the end, it's all up to you. but here's what i suggest
http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED-B...85865-1-2.html
these are 5K, so they are pretty close to pure crisp white in color. i have these exact ones in my car and rear license plate. real bright.
they also come in 6k which is white with a hint of blue. i can't stand 6k hid's or 6k leds. i hate the slight blue. i wanted pure crystal crisp white so i got the 5K's.

scroll down to the bottom of that list and you will see one for $7.99 and one for $9.99. either of those two will work for interior and will be plenty bright over the stock bulbs that are in there.
i noticed one of them says "3 CHIP" (the one listed for $9.99). i have no clue what "3 chip" means but it shows that the brightness is brighter than the 7.99 bulb. but like i said, even the one that is only $7.99 is still bright.

I would also consider the OEM rubber floor mats or aftermarket equivalent too. The mights might not make a huge difference with a 2nd hand car but make a huge difference when you buy new. The mats work well and look decent too. My carpet looks new under those mats and I still have the original carpeted mats that came with the car in original plastic package. I went with the black OEM mats with my Parchment (light tan) interior- they look pretty good with the contrast IMHO.
Another nice upgrade is revamping the console cover and padding- search for a link with RedlineGoods.com in it or go to the website. I bought a new cover and padding and my console has been revamped- did that last year for about 80 bucks I believe. If I had to do it over I would have gone with Black instead of the closest match for parchment

I've got 15 LED panels in my map lights and love them. 55W HID reverse lights cost about $80. Now that I have them I wish I'd made that my first mod.
