The only light that need a load resistor is the directional light.

UPDATE:

I wasn't completely happy with the brightness of my rear bulbs and I did more research. I ended up purchasing the following bulbs to replace the three hatch lights (T5) and the two brake lights (7443). These new bulbs are brighter than the last set and I am very happy with them.

In case you care:

I installed the center brake light, two tail lights in the hatch, and two tail/brake lights on the rear left and right panels. So far, I like the way they look. I have replaced/will be replacing the vanity lights, rear dome, cargo lights, and the lights in the two front doors. I am waiting on the map lights and that should be it for me.

If you are interested, here's what you'll need:

Exterior - Rear::

Center brake + both tail lights in the hatch (3 total): 1PC T10 30SMD High Mount Stop LED Bulb

Tail/brake lights (comes in a pair): T20 Dual Beam LED Tail Light Bulbs #7443

License plate lights (comes in a pair) pick one of two below (same as front door lights):

1. White LED LIcense Tag Lights T10 5-SMD

2. White T10 12-SMD LED License Plate Lights

Interior::

Cargo lights (comes in a pair, same as rear dome lights): White LED 1X Trunk Cargo Light 12-SMD Panel Interior Light

Map lights: (comes in a pair): White 12-SMD LED Panel Interior Lights

Front door lights (comes in a pair) pick one of two below (same as license plate lights):

1. White LED LIcense Tag Lights T10 5-SMD

2. White T10 12-SMD LED License Plate Lights

Rear dome (comes in a pair and the same as cargo lights): White 12-SMD LED Panel Interior Lights

USE CODE: deal and get 20% OFF!

Hope this helps.
Did you actually replace the front dome (map) light? I've only seen a few posts about it, but it apparently can't be replaced since it is soldered in? I've replaced all the other interior lights so far, but not this one just yet.

No, I found out they were soldered on after I opened it to install the bulbs. Sorry for the confusion.

I just finished taking the whole assembly out of the headliner and took it apart only to confirm it was indeed individual LEDs soldered to the board. I'm not comfortable soldering so I don't think I could take this on, but maybe somewhere down the line I'll have someone replaced the LEDs for me.

I did happen to find a thread where the owner replaced the LEDs on the board to their TL for anyone that is interested.

I don't get it. If those lights are already LED lights, then what's the point of replacing them with another LED lights ....????

I'm attempting to update all of the interior lights to more of a pure white (5K). Right now the the OEM LED is emitting more of a 3K color and it's too yellow.
