Default Changing Interior Lights

Well I'm in the process of ordering interior lights.
I'm going all LED Hyper White. I'll be purchasing from superbrightleds.
I know the front and license plate bulbs are 168/194 wedge type but what's the rear?
It says 578 but I can't find that on superbrightleds. At walmart I can find 578 easily.
Is there another name/type this "578" bulb go by?

PS: My friend just did his TC w/ hyper white and it looks awesome.

i replaced all mine with hyper white led chips there 1000 times better, it looks so great, the led chips are kinda costly at like 10+ a bulb but worth every dollar. i sent like 80 may 90 on them.
