Looks like I'm going to need to buy 8 LEDs then, two for the reverse lights, 2 turn signal/running lights for the front and 4 for the tail/brake lights. I want to make SURE I'm seen

No, I want to replace ALL the exterior lights with LEDs, especially the reverse lights b/c I can't see squat when backing up, the factory bulbs are useless.

Also, the side markers are 194s as well, but if you go with cool white, it washes out the color a bit too much, so you might just want 2 Amber and 2 Red 194s from SBL.

My internal LEDs are red by default, and plenty bright!

Thanks ghosted, it looks like my shopping list is going to be:
6 194s, 2 white, 2 amber and 2 red, 6 3157s, 2 amber and 4 red and 6 resistors. Does that sound right?

Not sure what the stock bulbs are, to be honest, my front signals are 7443s, but I'm also running aftermarket headlights. And the 6 resistors sounds correct, one resistor per blinking bulb.

I talked to SBL and they are the ones that told me the 3157s were for the front turn signals/running lights and I ASSUMED they would also be the ones for the tail/brake lights. I will of course check with SBL to make sure about the 3157s for the tail/brake lights.

The reverse lights are so other motorists and pedestrians know you're about to back up. No to illuminate the road behind so you can see to back up. It would be nice if that's what they were intended to do. For this reason I added rear facing driving lights on my Suburban so I really can see what's back there at night.
