Default Supercrew LED light conversion. HELP!

Hey guys, I have a 2003 f150 fx4 supercrew and im looking to swap in some led's. First I want to do all of the overhead lights, including the dome, two map lights, and the two reading lights in the rear. I also heard there are lights in the front door panels, im not sure but my screws dont light up while my buddies scab's do. I figured there just reflectors. Also I want to change my reverse lights, license plate lights, and bed light too. Anyway I want to change all of these to the bright white led bulbs. I was wondering if someone could tell me the bulb numbers I need, and I was wondering if I have to order them online or if I can buy them at advanced auto or somewhere local. Any help is appreciated.

You'll need 3 pairs of these,

And this will do the doors, hood light, cargo light, license plate lights, and glove box light

For the rest of the bulbs consult my bulb guide link he posted.

online is where you get the best selection and prices.
I have seen a few LED bulbs at local parts places, but like 10x the price.

Unfortunately, no. Use BrowningSCrew's recommendations - and another source would be www.superbrightleds.com. As FYI, I DID replace my reverse lights with LEDs, and I was not happy with the amount of light. The reflectors on the stock tail light assemblies assume incandescent lighting, with a circular reflector. LED replacement assemblies are rectangular, and do not line up exactly where the circular bulb was. In this case, you might want to consider aftermarket tail light assemblies that have the LEDs built-in. My workaround was to go to WalMart, and get a small pair of fog lights. I replaced the halogen bulbs with H3 LEDs, and mounted them below the tail light assemblies. These are wired into the reverse lights, and I now get enough light to back out safely from my dark driveway. The LEDs only use 1W each, so no blown fuses, either.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but im just now doing the conversion. Any way, does anyone know how to remove the rear map/dome lights in a 2003 screw. I tried using a screwdriver to pry it out, but I thought I was going to break the plastic cover.

The little clear cover will just pop right out
