I put in the 194/168 led bulbs in all interior lights, 2 up front on the dome/map, 3 in rear dome/map and 1 in the glove box. Also used the same for license plate lights.

Bought mines at walmart but auto zone and such have them too. They were the phillips Silvia something. There probably is cheaper LEDs online.

Check out superbrightleds.com for other options and they have a great reference or comparability chart
 






Not quite what you are asking but I have Sylvania Silver Star Ultra bulbs for headlamps and Silver Star bulbs for the fog lamps. Very pleased with the bulbs and I did not have to mod any wiring. :) It is my understanding for hid's you will basically have to custom make them as there are no plug and play kits for our trucks.
 






You can always add extra lights... the hella 700f's I have appear 2-3X brighter than the regular headlights with silverstar ultra bulbs. So when both sets of lights are on, it's pretty damn bright for not having any HID or LED headlights.
 






interior lights and license plate 10 leds on ebay for $10
head lights i would not get hids, go sylvania silverstars or ebay has 100w pair of lights for $12. could get a pair for head lights and fogs for cheap
 






I got my HID kit from ddm tuning and it was $35 for just low beams or $55 for hi and lo if i remember correctly. Simple install, kit comes with all necessary and its plug n play with stock system. Iv had them for about a year and 1 bulb went bad but I emailed them and shipped the pair back and they replaced them for free.
 












I dont get the idea behind the "flasher" what is it and why would you need it? Where did you get all the leds for interior?
 






The flasher is used to stop the rapid flashing you get with the turn signals after switching to LEDs.

LEDs don't pull the same power as regular bulbs so when LEDs are in the vehicle thinks it's a burnt out bulb or something…I think
