Default Interior/Exterior LED Lighting Conversion Help? 96' Express

Hey guys, so after having some work done on the big bus (plugs, wires, rotor/distrb cap, ignition coil, top gaskets, thermostat, alternator, idler pulley) she is running quite nicely now.

We are about to drop a nice coin to have a full wrap done (this is our work vehicle), but id really like to upgrade the lame lighting. Note this is a conversion van so i dont know if ALL lighting will be possible to upgrade.

Anyone have any experience in doing this? I found this kit online for interior lighting Interior Bulb LED Replacement Kit

Says $35 for the set...not sure if there are cheaper or better options?

Exterior...i hate the "defuser" headlights the 96's have...the cracked crystal/foggy look i dont like and i cant find anyone who has or makes CLEAR ones.

Also would like to redo the back lighting. Anyone else been through this yet? Any recommendations?

I use this site for my light bulb sizes on my vehicles, then just shop around for the bulbs. The chart only goes back to 1998 that I can see, so not sure if it will work for yours.

1998 Chevrolet Express Automotive Light Bulb Sizes Guide

And then, this place is where most car guys go for their bulbs, worth checking out,

Check out Lizard LEDs. They sell replacement LED bulbs and LED lighting strips to customize the interior and exterior of vehicles.
