Description
These 12V LED bulbs are manufactured using 1 SMD type LED. The single forward firing SMD chip provides intense light in a 140 degree pattern from the end of the bulb. A single SMD chip provides nearly 4 times the light of a traditional LED, so this allows an incredibly compact bulb that is only slightly bigger than the size of the bulb base itself. SMDs are the brightest LED bulbs available. Simply put, there is not a brighter bulb available in this size! These bulbs are compact enough to replace ANY incandescent bulb, and provide a significant increase in brightness. Visit our tech section for more information on the differences between LED and SMD technology.
These bulbs feature a BA9S bayonet type base (see chart for base compatibility). They provide superior results in applications where light is needed both from the sides of the bulb and from the end of the bulb to illuminate the intended area. These LED bulbs are the best choice for for gauge clusters, automotive side marker lamps, and more. Choose from six colors or mix and match to suit your needs.

Benefits of LED bulbs include: Low current requirements, low heat output, extra long bulb life (avg. of over 10,000 hours), no bulb fade with age, increased brightness, vibration resistant, and many more.
Note: LED bulbs are polarized. If they do not light, check to be sure the wiring to the socket has the positive lead on the tip of the bulb.
