Here are the plans, and I'll update as I make progress.
Rationale: While HID headlight bulbs are pretty good, I've had a lot of success with LEDs on other vehicles. I like the high output and low power draw. My interior is black, and the interior lights just aren't bright enough for my liking. LEDs put out more light, which will be useful here. Form follows function- I am doing this for added light output, not for what it looks like.

Exterior:
a. Headlights- convert HID to LED. I don't use cheap LED bulbs here, they tend to scatter light and blind oncoming traffic. I read test sites such as bulbfacts and another one on YT that actually test the bulbs and involve real people, not stupid computer voices.
Status: Completed, used "Sinoparcel D3S/D3R Bulbs +500% More Brightness - 6000K 35W High Low Beam Xenon HID Replacement Lights - Pack of 2" bulbs specifically for this purpose. I see they are no longer sold on Amazon, but there are other similar HID to LED conversion bulbs available. The manufacturer still sells them here. Have not road tested yet, but they look good in the shop. These were $73/pair and were plug & play.
Pics: Pending outdoor use

b. Fog lights- convert to LED (H11). I want a pattern that will compliment my low beams, I don't plan to use these with high beams as they serve different purposes.
Status: Parts on order. I am trying 2x different brands I found on Amazon.
Pics: Pending

c. Tag lights- Swap out OEM LED for multi-LED. I used these found on Amazon.
Status: Completed. Note- Easy swap, most difficult part was getting old connector off.

Interior:
a. Overhead, under dash, and rear hatch- replace with "194" LEDs. I'm trying these from Amazon.
Status: Parts on order
Pics: Pending

b. Visor lamps- replace 29mm incandescent with LEDs. I used these from Amazon.
Status: Completed. Note- I found they were too bright (glare) when faced backward, so I rotated each one about 90 degrees. More light w/o the glare.

You can change out all the interior lights to LEDs except the circular lights in the center console above your head. Those are soldered onto the board.

Personally I like the non led lights. They feel more warm.

I saw the writeup on those, and that's not in my skill set. I liked the brighter daylight type of bulbs ever since I put some in my kid's car years ago. The black interior here seems to suck in all of the light. The 194 LEDs can probably be found in lower numerical temps for a more yellow or softer light.

If you want to go down the "make LEDs look like incandescent lights" path start here...

At least for now incandescent bulbs are cheaper and for the most part easier or just as easy to find as led. I buy a bunch at a time if one goes out and needs replacing. This way I have more for the future.

The advantage of led is they're usually brighter than incandescent, less heat is generated, and the require less power for the same amout of light. The disadvantage is they're usually more expensive and cheaply manufactured (typically Chinese) leds fail quickly.

I got the remaining interior LEDs installed tonight, true pain in the butt. I ended up pulling as many sockets out as I could since the electrical tape on needle nose pliers tool didn't work- lost one of the micro screws that hold the 2nd seat dome light in place, so one will have to hold it. I'm glad this chore is over. Oh, and like the YT video I watched, every single bulb I plugged in was backwards, so I had to pull it back out and reverse it. Maybe someday the people that invented USB-C will take up interior light bulbs.
