First you need to check whether you need festoon bulbs or t10 bulbs. Some come with an adapter to suit either.

Also, be aware that if your interior lights gradually dim, rather than just switching off instantly, you might find that the LEDs glow just a little bit all the time, when they are supposed to be off. There's just a small voltage left from the dimmer which isn't enough to light a normal incandescent, but is enough for an LED.

Also, little tip, try to get ones that specify their 'colour temperature' as 5000k, as it's a much crisper white light which looks better than the blue-ish tint ones IMHO (i.e. 5500k and upwards).
