27 (5 + 18) SMDs for superior light distribution! Sold Individually.

Available with 1156 type bulb base in Warm White or Cool White OR 

1157 type bulb base in Red, Yellow (Amber), Warm White, or Cool White

These 12V DC have 5 forward facing SMD chips and 3 rows of 6 side firing SMDs for a full and brilliant illumination of most taillamp housings. Each of our 5050 series SMD chips contains 3 LEDs for a total of 81 LEDs per bulb! The combination of forward and side firing SMDs provides bright light in over 270 degrees providing a significant improvement over standard LED bulbs. These bulbs can be used for a variety of lighting purposes and are ideal for applications requiring a wide lighting angle such as applications using a lamp housing that redirects the light toward the lens, such as taillamp housings. These bulbs produce ULTRA BRIGHT light when current is applied.

1156 type: 1156 bulbs are designed to operate in applications requiring a single contact on the base of the bulb. These single function bulbs are typically used for reverse lamps and other lighting purposes where dual function is not required. 1156 Base

1157 type: 1157 bulbs are designed to operate in applications requiring two contacts on the base of the bulb. These dual function bulbs will light all the bulbs at half brightness when current is applied to one contact and will reach full brightness when both contacts are provided current. These bulbs are commonly used in dual function locations like tail lamp or marker lamps where the lights operate as running lamps and function as brake lamps when the brakes are applied as well as functioning as turn signals. 1157 Base  These bulbs will fit most vehicles that use 1157 type bulbs.  In some rare applications, there can be interference between the bottom PCB and the bulb socket or housing during installation.  In the product images, we provide an illustration with dimensions to help our customers confirm fit before ordering.   

Our 1156 and 1157 27SMD bulbs are available in both Warm White and Cool White colors.  Select Warm White to preserve the factory appearance or Cool White to give your vehicles lighting a modern bright white appearance.  If you need more help selecting the best bulb color, please visit our tech section for more information on Warm White vs Cool White.

Note: Converting the bulbs in the turn signal circuit to LED/SMD bulbs will result in a need to convert your turn flasher unit (and emergency flasher unit) to one designed for the lower loads created by LED bulbs.  If your vehicle uses the 2 pin flasher design, we recommend this part to complete your conversion to LED/SMD: 2 Pin LED Flasher
