They are surface mount technology, but they are LED lights. I've converted many of my lights to LED also.

I have a set I bought to try out in my fogs that I haven't had a chance to try them out yet.

SMD: Surface Mount Device. LED: Light Emitting Diode.

Anyways, that does look great. The dome lights in my WRX are horribly weak. Same with the hatch lights.
Did you get that as a Kit? I see that they are already mounted on PCBs.

They really aren't hard to find at all, but those bulbs are a lot more expensive for the good quality ones. We are talking about between $40 and $80/pr. for the brake lights.

I got those reverse lights from Mach V also. I am going to sell those 7440 bulbs in cool white (as seen in pics above) since I got some different ones.

Turn signals require you to either add some resistors inline with the socket or add a different relay for the flasher module or you will get hyper blink because the voltages don't match.
