I myself wanted to change all my exterior bulbs as I've done a similar mod to my 996. My '05 CTT is arriving next week but I already have all the bulbs prepared. I approached the mod a bit differently in that I decided to use LEDs in only a couple of things......the front park lights and the rear license plate lights.

This is how my set-up is going to be:

Bi-Xenons - 6000K D1S
High Beams - Osram Nightbreakers H7
Fogs - PIAA H11 Yellow Ion
Cornering Lights - Osram Nightbreakers H3
Front Park Lights - High-Powered LEDs with built-in resistors
Front Signal Lights - Sylvania Silverstar 7507A ST (Silver Bluish but lights up Amber)
Front Sidemarkers - InviSilver W5W (Silver but lights up Amber)
Rear Signal Lights - P21W Stealth Bulbs (Silver but lights up Amber)
Reverse Lights - Sylvania Silverstar 7506ST or Error-Free LEDs
License Plate Lights - C5W Error-Free High-Powered LEDs (from ijdmtoy)

Whatever is not mentioned remains stock.

What I like about these type of mods is that it makes the vehicle stand out at night (the LEDs & 6000K Bi-Xenons), they improve safety (the higher lumens of the Nightbreakers over standard halogens; and Yellow Fogs for bad weather conditions), improved aesthetics by removing the egg yolks (stealth bulbs), while maintaining DOT-compliance as well as no errors on the dash.

The cost of a set of these bulbs (including shipping) is between $300-$400 so it ain't cheap.

thanks for all the info.. i'll start by fixing the mirror/vanity lights then i'll slowly replace the lights.. your list seems nice, i am getting the dipped light error (twice in owning the car since october last year) i'm not so good in DIY so i may need to get someone, or some shop to do this for me.. i don't want to get a dent, scratch in the car if i do it when i start popping out plastic locks, etc as i did when i started replacing bulbs in my other car (and the armada that i traded).. i still have the HIDs for my c230 and i'm afraid i'll mess it up.. arrghh..

any tunerish shop should be able to put these in and print out the instructions beforehand.......

I have had 4 headlights and 6 of the rear bulbs go out in the past 12 months.....so I am at my wits end. Its still a PITA to pull these out, test and then fannagle.........

I am looking at some LED taillights for 300 to end the issue and I am designing a new headlight at this time heres an inspirational pic below.......paint the interior black and it will come with relay switches and ballasts so non of this flashes an error......I found a company to do it.

I am being warned that the LEDs on projectors is a bad idea because the heat will reduce the life of the LED.

they recommended angel eyes??!! Thats pushing me too much on what I want, Ill probably go look at the new black interior headlamps form 2011 models and put LED on the bottom of the light or have them put some off road lamps in the the 2 side vents or spruce up the lower fog lights.

Heres a shot of a bentley needing a jump.
