LED bulb set for tail lights?

Does anyone sell a set of LED bulbs for the tail lights? The wife's 2014 Convertible S has a left upper light that's out, and if I'm going to replace one I might as well replace them all. Otherwise is there a reasonably comprehensive list somewhere of all the bulbs involved?

My main concern is avoiding potential CANBUS issues with cheapie lights. I don't need to save a buck if it raises headaches.

Make sure they are canbus, otherwise you will get a bulb out error.

you also may have to put a load resistor in to stop the rapid blinking or "hyper flash" associated with LED bulbs.....I had to install the resistors in mine
