Your turn signals should be amber, reverse lights white, and stop and brake lights red I believe.

What exactly are "samsung" leds? The projector means it has a tiny projected lense on it to better shine the light, but what do they mean by samsung? Like the brand samsung? Lol

Also, what are SMD? Is that a type of LED?

From what I understand, the LED chips are manufactured by Samsung. I don't believe they're the ones making the bulbs but the chips are made by them. In my experience, they are brighter and "whiter" than the Chinese bulbs.

The "projector" LED's I'm using have radial firing LED's around the bulb and 2 LED's firing through a projector lens on the end.

I think SMD stands for surface mount, not sure about the D. There are a few different types you'll find. If you see 3528 they're not as bright and a little more purplish, 5050 are a little brighter and a bit more of a bluish color.

That's strange, I've never heard of that kind of comparability issue between bulbs and ballasts! I'm using xenondepot ballasts and never had a problem. You got the fogs installed then I take it?

some of my ebay bulbs have lasted for years... It is hit or miss sometimes but getting a replacement still doesn't add up to what these other companies charge.. Plus i'm willing to bet that all these china bulbs and LED's etc all come from the same place.. My 6k HID bulbs for the Optima have lasted 2 years so far with no issues. They cost $35.00. My retro has 6k Morimoto bulbs at $75.00 still cheaper than Phllips etc...

My eBay parking light LED's lasted under a year. Actually it was a good thing 'cause now I have more brighter LED's from eBay. I've also changed interior, door, trunk and license plate bulbs to eBay LED's.
As tmf2004 said it's a hit or miss sometimes but overall I have been satisfied with the eBay LED's.

Im trying to figure out the right color...I don't want the pure white look for my interior I would rather it have more of a blue look to it. These Samsung ones say 2323...would these be more of the purplish look as stated above?

Here is the link...
