Default LED replacement bulbs for interior lights?

Hi, I have a 2013 focus ST and just wanted to know, can I use any LED lights for inside my boot and maybe in a few other places inside my car, or do they need to be certain ones? And does one size fit all?

I was wondering does anyone know the LED'S I can use and point me where to get them from? Thanks.

One size doesn't fit all but the short answer is that yes, you can probably use LED globes for the interior and boot lights and a T10/194/168 is used in most positions. Note that in the ST some of them already are LED.

The boot light should be a 194 type globe.
The number plate lights are either a T10 wedge globe or a festoon dependent on model.
Reversing lamps are a T10 or T15 wedge.
Interior dome light is a T10/168/194 type globe
Map lights are a 194/168 type globe.

You can get them from here amongst other places.

Awesome thanks for that. Hey you wouldn't happen to know if you can replace the active cornering lights with white LED ones or maybe just whiter lights to suit my main lights and if so which ones? Or would I just go to somewhere like Repco and ask them about these ones?
