Default What to use to replace reverse and License Plate Bulbs with LED's?

This is to find out which bulb is which.

If you cant find the bulb make sure to google "led cross reference chart" I think superbrightleds.com has one on their site.

Heres another bulb guide

Now in terms of changing them out and installing resistors. All I know is you either have to disable the bulb out warning in the car through diagnostics or make sure to match the stock wattage and voltage otherwise it wont work or it will throw a code.

Cheers

Not sure about reverse light, but these LEDs will work with the license plate light without resistors and no error display.

There are two screws holding the license plate bulbs - I had to remove my license plate and the holder to make room for a screwdriver to unscrew those screws. The housing comes off after the screws are removed - you just take the bulbs out and insert new ones. piece of cake!
