So whats the difference between LED bulbs and the stealth bulbs? Is there a number or name to identify them, both Side marker and for the turn signal bulb in the headlight? 
Stealth bulb/solaris bulb are just bulbs that have a different finished coating than regular amber bulbs.
LED bulbs have LEDS inside the housing, which emit a bright light, and no heat from the bulb.
LED Turn signal conversion
The link about is what I did to my turn signals. Since then, i've upgraded to 57 LED bulb, instead of the 24 LED's you see there.
Also, LED can be used in the interior like this,

Hope this explains the LED factor of what you want to do.
As for the non-LED side, its just the same bulb but the look of the bulb when its not on is different.
