use that website to check the bulb sizes your car has. once you find what size you need for what bulbs you want to change then search online for what LED color you want them to be. i got mine off of ebay, but there are other ways you can get them.

Just ordered a pair for my license plate and a red one for the glove box. I'll see how I like them and maybe order more and finish off the look.

If you have a '96 and want to go full white LED for the interior, don't buy the whole kit from TunerDomes.com. Half of the LED's won't work, due to the way the '96 electrical system was designed I guess. I'm not sure if you could buy separate LED's for the interior or what, but I was a bit disappointed when I couldn't run all the LED's from the kit.

Just an FYI!

I also used superbrightleds.com to get everything I needed. Great site and tons of options.

I like the look of ones the ones I got so I ordered the rest. I'm going red for the map lights and rear dome lights, white for the front dome light, white for the vanity mirrors, and either white or red for the trunk, haven't decided yet.

I'll post pictures up when its done. Oh yeah, and the turbo oil feed line is being replaced tomorrow morning. I did a sludge treatment today and will be running redline synthetic from now on. Hopefully next week I can get the clutch replaced.
