So.... the only H11b bulb I can find out there is made by Sylvania. Does anyone know if it's a regular replacement halogen bulb or if it's the "whiter" bulb? I'm looking for something similar to a xenon....
Listing of light bulb size/type, need help please.

what is the difference between h11b and h11 bulbs?
H11B is the same bulb just with a slightly different base for mounting in the car. The H11 bulb base can be modified (and possibly the connector itself needs a trimming) to fit, but of course this will void warranty if there is a problem with it later.
two people posted two different bulb number for the rear turn light and brake lights.
Any idea which number is actually the right one?

The 1156 & 1157 are physically the same size bulb, the difference is that the 1156 is a single filament bulb and the 1157 is a dual filament bulb.two people posted two different bulb number for the rear turn light and brake lights.
Any idea which number is actually the right one?
The outside taillight (not the one on the trunk) is am 1157 since does double duty as running light and brake light.
The inside taillight (the one on the trunk) is just a running light so an 1156 might work but I remember someone saying that it is set up with an 1157 and dual contact socket but only using one side.
This is my understanding and so I ordered 1157 L.E.D. equivalent bulbs but have yet to install them to confirm this.
Check out this thread about a member who modified his tail lights, according to his experience the inside is an 1157.
Hope this helps.
so 1157 for all the tails but turn and reverse then?
also...the koup seems to require one to remove the entire lense assembly in order to swap bulbs.

Yes, on both the Koup and Sedan you have to remove the assembly to replace the bulbs.so 1157 for all the tails but turn and reverse then?

Why!? I have no idea why they did it this way!
I believe the reverse is a 921 but don't quote me. That should be all the bulbs.
I have attached a pdf of the replacement procedure and it shows 2 bulbs in the outer light, 1 for Stop/Tail light and 1 for Turn signal. Then 2 more on the inner light, 1 for tail light and 1 for reverse.

UPDATE!
OK so today I decide to look for myself and here's what I found on my sedan.
- you DO NOT need to remove the tail light assembly. I was able to open to access door in the trunk (you will need to cut/tear the edges) and twist and remove the sockets. Just make a note of the position of the socket after you loosen it, it makes it easier to line it up after wards.
- the bulbs are as follows:
- Outer light 1 x 1157 Tail/Brake light in the upper position, 1 x 1156 Signal light in the lower position.
- Inner Light (on trunk) 1 x 1157 tail light with only 1 filament used, 1 x 921 wedge base reverse light.
I hope this clears things up.
The map lights are listed as "175", but I can't find this type of festoon bulb anywhere. anyone else been able to find it in LED?

You said "cut/tear". Is there any kind of damage done in the process with the trunk lining? Thanks.Yes, on both the Koup and Sedan you have to remove the assembly to replace the bulbs.

Does anyone know what the bulb number is for the side mirrors?
Thanks

No, sorry I didn't explain it better.You said "cut/tear". Is there any kind of damage done in the process with the trunk lining? Thanks.
The little doors in the trunk behind the lights are not completely cut out. Some of the material still overlaps the door edge and you need to just pull the door to tear these few fibres or cut them with a knife... no big deal.
What ones specifically did you get? There's a million choices! haha I'm looking for the brightest "cool white" LED's I can find...try to put in 3175 in ebay thats how i found my led map light on my koup
