Have done the LED swap - they're lovely at night, but the pure white is not as noticeable during the day! I'm probably swapping back to filament bulbs.

And they're a 1156 bulb by the way (as are Front and Back Indicators).
Brakes are 1157.

Yeah, they'd fit by the look of them. Might want to look into how much room there is inside the reverse light part of the light though - those look pretty long.

Mine were more this shape:
