There’s a guy on TW who sells great quality leds and has kits so you just tell him which lights you need and he has all the bulb numbers already. I’ll get his username, give me a few.

SBL makes good products. I use them in my 3rd-gen because they're one of the few who make BA9S ("twist-on" style base) LEDs in a warm white hue...wanted something as close to incandescent in color.

I use their bulbs for my reverse polarity kits and they are great. Extremely bright and well built. The display bulbs are t4 but you will need to run a 12 volt positive to them as the circuit board only supplies 6. All other interior bulbs are t3 and are direct replacements

Used SuperBright LED's for all interior and license plate bulbs, very happy
I have SuperBright LED's for all interior and the license plate bulbs. The map light bulbs are extremely bright, the other interiors are pretty bright, much more light output than stock. License plate bulbs are much brighter than stock. I have the cool white color bulbs and am very satisfied.

They're probably similar in brightness, but the 6000K will have a more bluish hue than the 4500K. I never tried their cooler whites but their warm 2700K-3000K white bulbs are definitely warm (yellowish), like original incandescent bulb warm.

I’d personally go with the 4500k, but it’s really a personal preference thing.

I used superbrightleds for all my bulb replacements on my 2000 4R. They worked well. The interior LEDs were inexpensive so I ordered a few of various color temps to test and see what I liked, before ordering more. I liked the warmer colors best.
I did have a problem with some of their festoon replacement bulbs, the ones with a metal pointy cone connector at each end. The metal cone was not bonded to the glass properly on some models and it twisted loose. Same problem on another model that had the cones soldered to a circuit board. The solder job was bad and made no connection. I contacted the company and got replacements. They are real good with their return/replace policy. The solution is to test every festoon you get before installation. Twist the metal cones to make sure they’re solidly attached. This experience was from a few years ago so maybe their quality control is better now.
Exterior bulbs: at the time there were several versions offered that were constructed from different LED components with different light output values. You have to drill into the website to get the specs to examine and compare with the compatible bulbs you are considering. Also pay attention to fitment. Some bulbs are longer than others. Measure yours.
One thing that slightly bothered me was the bulbs I got were not sealed in glass or plastic; the components are exposed to the elements. As long as your tailight/sidelight enclosures are weathertight you should be ok. I had no problems.
For the turn signals I needed to get a new electronic flasher module from them to prevent “hyper flash”. For the brake lights I needed to add a resistor in parallel to prevent a bulb-out error. I had a supply of high-power resistors so I selected the highest value that would work. I mounted it in the area of the third eye enclosure.
Remember that you replace the bulbs with the same color LED as the lens (red or amber). A bright white LED makes red look pink.
One more thing: I tried their LED headlight replacements. They did not work in the reflector headlight housings. The low beam cutoff was all wrong and the high beam was no brighter than stock bulbs.

Finally switched out all the lights. Brighter with LED doors, dome, License plate, HVAC. Only problem was the LCD Screen that wouldn’t come on. I’ll look for another 3 led bulbs for the clock area.
