LED bulbs I did a search and didn't come up with what I'm looking for. I'm going to do LED's in my clear corners and I know the fronts are 3157/194 and the rear side markers are also 194, but what I want to know is what are quality brands and what is SMD? I don't want to go and buy these bulbs only to find out they're a little to long or they're not bright enough.
If you guys have pictures or links to what I'm looking for please post up and I know I will need a EL12 flasher right? I want to order these tomorrow so hopefully I get some replies quick. Are there any sponsors here? What about all the interior bulbs? What bulbs are in the interior & license plate because I want to swap every bulb in my car to LEDs?

The SMD LED's look completely different then regular LED's. They look like a little yellow microchip and are much brighter then regular LED's. If you look in the above thread it tells you the parts numbers. The more expensive ones have multiple SMD LED's in a single bulb and the more they have the more evenly it'll disperse light. All of these bulbs can be found at www.superbrightleds.com

Get "tower" style LED bulbs. They look like a cylinder with LEDs all around and on top. This is to better light up the reflector on out cars.
There are a few different kinds of LED tower bulbs. Newer/brighter ones use brighter LEDs and the description often mentions a wattage rating. More LEDs = brighter and more even light.
Also for clarification, SMD = Surface Mount Device. That term is not LED-specific. It just means that the item is soldered to the surface of the board instead of having its "legs" go through holes in the board and soldered on the back.
