LED exterior and interior lighting
Does anyone have a complete list of exterior and interior bulbs that can be converted to LEDs? E.g. 194 / 912 / 921? I looked through the owner's manual and didn't find a complete list. Ford usually puts this info in the book.
Is there a how-to page on swapping to LED tail lights? Do I need a load resistor to make the turn signals work, or to prevent them from glowing dimly when the car is shut off?
Thanks in advance!

Basically any bulb on the car can be converted to LED. I've done this myself, all exterior lights are LED, along with my interior map lights and the dome light. You can find a complete list of bulbs by using this tool: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/ and I recommend this site for buying bulbs: http://www.v-leds.com as I bought all my LEDs from there. Great selection and good quality stuff. Turn signals will require the resistor kit, one per bulb.

I used V-LEDs to convert all the bulbs in my 00 Crown Vic and 07 Mustang GT.
Does the Cobalt require loading resistors for the turn signal LEDs? I intend to just replace the small stuff with LEDs (194/912/921/168) and keep the more important bulbs stock.

Thanks for the heads up.
Will I be fine with direct LED conversions on the other bulbs? For instance, the sidemarkers, 3rd brake light, etc...? Will they stay dimly lit when the car is shut off?

Super bright is cheaper because of the bulb types they sell. The majority of the stuff they carry are LED bulbs that are way too directional. VLEDs has the types with LEDs mounted equally all around the bulb to actually replicate the light pattern of a normal bulb.
