I have not yet done the brake lights but plan to in the near future.
It should be an easy matter to search for the LED equivalent of the OEM bulb.
RockAuto.com is a great resource for this.
I buy parts through them all the time.
I think that this link is for your car based upon your "garage"-

It indicates a 7440 bulb, which is the same as the backup light bulbs.
They do have an LED version of it.

Be aware though that you are very likely to need resistors for them no matter what the LED manufacturer may claim.

Love the LED headlights by the way!

Also I think the 7440 is wrong since I just looked at the number I used for the turn signals and is the same so it wouldn’t fit. Will try autoZone or autoparts to get a correct size
