I tried leds in rear turn signal. Didn't like it though. 1-Resistors required and 2- Red blinkers look cheap. I know They make em in Amber, but amber LED look almost like regular bulb when lit. Bout those ambient interior lights, I'm still researching it. Mersedes uses them in some of their cars. If I find a link I'll post it here.

well, sometimes LEDs should mostly be used for turn signals or maybe reverse lights. for brake lights, you would need ALOT since it's the most important light you need at night plus daylight time also.

To use LEDs as brakes lights you either need to do the 06 swap out, like others have done.

Or do a LED retro, like I did using superflux LEDs. Superflux LEDs are made for automotive use, and have a wider viewing angle.

Mine have about 36 LEDs on each side.
