Changing majority of the light bulbs

I'm looking to give led/stealth bulbs on ebay a try. The difficult part is to locate the exact model for each section. I'm pretty much going to change all of them, front turn signal, rear turn signal, rear lamp/side marker, and reverse. I just don't know which model for the rear/lamp side marker.

Here's a part of the Sylvania lamp replacement guide.

Parking light
3457LL
3457ALL
3457AST Silverstar Signal Lighting: Complete the Look: Crisp, Clean, Style

Front turn signal
3457LL
3457ALL
3457AST Silverstar Signal Lighting: Complete the Look: Crisp, Clean, Style

Rear turn signal
7507A
7507AST Silverstar Signal Lighting: Complete the Look: Crisp, Clean, Style
7506
7506LL Long Life Upgrade: Up to twice the life of the standard lamp

Tail light
7528

Stop light
7528

Back up light
7506
7506LL Long Life Upgrade: Up to twice the life of the standard lamp

Rear sidemarker
7528

so for the front turn signal, i need 3457. Rear turn signal 7506 or 7507? Rear sidemarker(red light)7528? and Back up light is 7506.

Now what is stop light, tail light, and parking light? none of these are mentioned in the manual.

thanks,
-steve

Be advised that switching to LED bulbs can trigger "light out" warnings on the dashboard.

yes...using load resistors. Ask the sponsor(s) of this site what their recommendations are regarding where to install them so they can properly dissipate the heat that are generated by them.
