Alright so ive never done anything like this before and really have no idea what to do. But this is what I want; red LEDs swapped for all these bulbs (taken from haks310 list):

Gauges: 194 - 6
Indicators(instrument panel): T1.5s - 16
HVAC Controls: T1.5 - 6
Glove Box: 194 - 1
Headlight Switch: NEO4 - 1
Door Lights: 194 - 4
Floor Courtesy Lights: 194 - 2
Driver Switches: NEO 4 & NEO 3 - 1 Each
Front Passenger Switches: NEO 4 - 1
Rear Passenger Switches: NEO 3 - 2
Dome Lights: 211 - 2

Now im curious how hard it would be for a noob like me to do this? Is it as simple as just unscrewing the bulbs and screwing in the LEDs? Also if someone could post links to each type of bulb I need it would be greatly appreciated. I checked out superbrightleds.com and there's so many numbers and letters and shit, it's pretty confusing. I'd like to get the cheapest possible.

Simple.

For the gauges get the WLED-x5

Glove box, door lights and floor courtesy lights get the WLED-x6

The NEO bulbs, just get the cheap $1.29 ones.

Indicators and HVAC, cheap $1.79 ones.

Get the, "4410-x9" under, "LED Festoon Bulbs"

If you want to really bright seeing as they are the dome lights, go with, "4410-xHP12" under, "High Power LED Festoon Bulbs"
