Default LEDs in Ap2 parking lights and reverse lights

I want to change out my dull white bulbs in my Ap2 parking light sockets with LEDs. i was looking on superbrightleds.com. they have all different kinds of 194 leds. which one fits in the small socket of the parking lights.
I also want to do the rear reverse light in my Ap2 taillights. they say there 7440.
I just need some recommendations. I did a post in the electronics section but not getting much help.

All 194 bulbs ill fit the small parking light. I would keep the reverse lights incandescent though. It lights up the rear end much better than LED's that have a very narrow beam. The LED's that have a wide angle lose the light intensity. Keep those incandescent.

i had to peel away the splash guard behind the headlights to try my new crappy LED. if your skinny great, if not well good luck. the most easiest would be to take the wheels off and then peel back the splash guard.
