Just put some silicone in the sockets, because most led bulbs have steel contacts that rust really quickly in that potentially wet environment.

I put white LEDs in all of them. Inside and out. I used all 194 on the running boards, door lights, and license plate lights. However the 2nd row seats and 3rd row i used i believe 211-2. Those are the cylinder shaped ones with the terminals at the end. The dome light however was the hardest. I used bulb 579 BUT i had to remove the original bulbs from the socket and had to somehow make the metal make contact with the dome light metal foil. But I went to another auto store, bought the original bulb, took it out and popped the LED right in with no probs.

They call those double ended bulbs 'festoon' base bulbs.
