Would like to replace the exterior lights (reverse, plate, running lights, etc) with LED's on my '13 LC. I already have high beams upgraded. I've searched the forum for something comprehensive about what can be replaced, with what lights, and so on, but no luck.

Anyone have any info or experience with that?

I already have the high beams upgraded, just need info about all the rest.

Thanks.
 
Here's what I used on my '15 last summer, they are working very well. All of them came from superbrightleds.com

Plate lights: #194-NWHP5
Reverse lights: #921-W19-T
Front markers: #194-AHP5
Rear marker lights are already LEDs

If you swap out the turn signal flasher for the SmartTap device (HIGHLY recommended), you can also upgrade the turns to LED:
Front: #7443-AW60-SA
Rear: #194-AHP5

Perfect. Thank you!

I've got the SmartTap in the shopping cart already.
 
Here's the Sylvania Bulb Finder. You can find LED equivalents for any that you need.

 
I got this information from an older Post. I replaced all interior and exterior lights with LEDs and could not be happier.

Backup: 921-WHP10-LAN
License plate: 194-NWHP5
Ash Tray: 74-NWHP
Glove Box: 74-NWHP
Front dome: 194-xHP5-LAN NEED 2
Center dome:194-xHP5-LAN NEED 2
Front Reading/map: 194-xHP5-LAN NEED 2
Center Reading: 194-xHP5-LAN NEED 2
Rear dome: 3110-x18-CB
Door/puddle: 921-WHP10-LAN NEED 4 c.
 
I don’t know about the “proper” bulb for the door/puddle, but I used the 194 and it worked fine.

Oh, and that 3110 for the cargo area is too long compared to the stock. Surprisingly, the seemingly miniscule 1mm difference makes it not fit well. I made it fit, but it is not ideal. I have a different, larger, light with a festoon adapter on order from Amazon based in input from a recent post.

And last of all, the license plate comment should be “need two”. There are two lenses and two bulbs back there. I wasn’t going to replace mine with LEDs but dicovered a blown incandescent, and happened to have two leftover 194 compatible LEDs from my 100 series in the tool box, so I went for it.
