parking lights, brakes, side markers.. no problem with leds
low beams, don't do it, not bright enough
you can even LED your fogs if the desire hits you

avoid rotary fx for bulbs, avoid them like the plague... do some searching and you'll see they're having issues with their LED's. they make some really nice stuff, but wherever they're getting their leds from is crap.

you can go HID on your lows, but i would suggest replacing everything else first and seeing if you really think the car needs it.
