bulbs for trunk, license plate, dome, and map lights

I did a search but I didnt' come up with anything.

Anyhow, I wanna replace them with something white...presumably LED bulbs.

Which ones from the PIAA website should I get? The owners manual for my 02 Civic LX (Canada) doesn't really specify the style/code for the bulbs I need.

Rethink this idea. If you're getting those really bright LED then that's going to blind you anytime you try and drive with the map light on. Otherwise the rest should be good.

It's a 2002 LX 4-door (Canadian) as I've indicated in my original message

"rear dome is a festoon but ID the size"

Here is a good sight to reference --> http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geu7AUZD...placementGuide

They make different lengths of festoon bulbs. DE3175s are commonly used.
