Which bulbs does the rear LED lamp assembly use?

Hey guys,

I'm gonna change the HID low beams for the first time since new and realized I haven't changed a single bulb in this car other than license plate and fog bulbs.

I'm confused about the rear light assembly. Parts explosion shows 2 bulbs but I don't what those are for.

-Reverse is SYLVANIA 7440.

-Then SYLVANIA 1157A amber for the rear turn signals?

That's it right? The stop lights (all 3) are OEM LEDs. yes?

Do you still have the manual that came with the car in the glove box? Should tell you which bulb to use.
 
LEDs obviously do not get changed but the rest are in pics below.

It amazing that after 20 years ALL the original bulbs still worked. I always see Hyundai's and Kia's with burned out bulbs. They must use some real cheap bulbs.

Rear bulbs for turn indicators, license plates and reversing bulbs:

I'm in the same boat, only OEM bulbs I replaced were due to choice / swapping to LED for license plate and interior.
After many years of poor visibility when reversing due to weak stock bulbs brightness and tinted windows, I put in some super bright LED 7443/7440 reverse bulbs and it made a huge difference. Now I can actually see what I'm doing backing into my driveway instead of doing it by braile.
