Tail Light Help

Alright, so I just got rid of the stupid "ricey" taillights that came on my LX, and I picked up these (I like the OEM style):

I want to put all LED bulbs in the tails and I am just wondering what bulbs I will need? I am on this site looking for the bulbs:

I want to change every light in the tailights, and the third brake light. What lights do I need, and what size?

Thanks in advance.

Those don't look OEM.
See attached pic of tail light for the bulb numbers.
The Sylvania bulb finder is a good site

With the turn signals, some LEDs don't give good light to the sides, just straight out, so get the good LEDs that have not only a powerful LED on the ends, but on the sides as well. Otherwise it is not safe. Drivers need to see the amber flashing from all angles.
I've also been thinking of converting to LEDs. I've been looking at eagle eye SMT tower for the turn signals.

They aren't exactly OEM, but they look aftermarket without the "ricey" label.

And alright, thanks for the post, it helps a lot.
