They all use the same bulb, 194. It's up to you if you want to use a led bulb or led board. I used a led bulb for the doors and a led board for the trunk. For the doors, just grab the bottom right of the lens cover and pull out towards you. The right side of the lens housing should pop out and then you can slide the housing out. For the trunk, just pop the cover off, it's very easy.

The trunk is very easy! Even I could do it
You might want a small flat head screw driver to help pop it of

Led bulb is good for tight spaces where led boards may not fit. Most 194 led bulbs are smaller or about the same size and a 194 halogen bulb. Led boards comes in many shapes and sizes and most of the time brighter than led bulbs due to a bigger surface area to mount the leds. Theoretically you can fit a small led board in the door panel lens but I find the led bulb bright enough for that application.

It is a direct replacement for the OEM 168 bulbs
