So i have been trying to swap out the stock interior and exterior lights with LED bulbs. I have succeeded with interior bulbs but as for the exterior im having a hard time finding the License Plate bulbs. I ordered them from superbrightled.com and the bulbs that came do not fit. After a little bit of research I believe i need a festoon bulb for the license plate but i dont know which length (mm) to get, anyone know the specifications? And any idea what bulbs are that are under the sideview mirrors?
2010 SHO LED Bulbs?

31mm festoon likely for the puddle lights (under sideview mirror lights) per this How To by bpd. He also stated 168's for the license plate bulbs, but that does not appear to be the case for you? Any markings on the OEM bulbs, pics?
List from Sylvania/Osram site:
Halogen headlamps etc

Yea i bought a set of the 168's for the license plate bulbs but they do not fit. It seems to be a festoon bulb just like the puddle lights but the sizing might be different. I will pull the bulb out soon and take a look at it for oem writing.

Go buy the LED puddle lights from http://www.daytimebrightlites.com/Puddle_Lights_NL3C.html
You get "free" LED license plate bulbs. If you plan on the puddle lights, save a few bucks and get them for free.

I think you need to check your owner's manual to determine the specified bulb. You can also look up the bulb number online. Additionally, you can contact an auto-parts store or a dealer Like Eurobahn, provide them with information on your vehicle, and find out the correct replacement bulb.
Examine the license-plate bulb lens to determine what type of tool you'll need, and then acquire the appropriate tool. In most cases, you'll need either a Phillips or a flat-head screwdriver. In other cases, you might need a wrench. Also, look at the license plate itself; determine what type of tool you'll need to remove the bolts or screws from it.
Remove the bolts or screws from the license-plate bulb lens. Grasp the lens and pull it off. On the back, you'll find the license-plate bulb. Pull the bulb straight out of its socket.
Wrap the new bulb in a paper towel, or wear gloves to keep from touching the glass. Insert the replacement bulb into the socket. Place the license-plate bulb lens back into place. Tighten the screws or bolts. And at last reposition the license plate.
