Default Question About LEDs

So Im about to order some LED bulbs individually from DDM. But before I do, I wanted to know if any other websites sell a whole LED kit for our cars. I saw one on Luxury Mods, but it was just 3 bulbs. Im planning on all LED interior, courtesy step light, map light, dome lights for front and rear, and trunk light. So does anyone have any input? Thanks in advance.

I bought them separate in ebay . All my lighting is led now. Like in dome lights instead of using bulbs I bought like boards with bunch of led's on it
Like 9 in each board. They measure maybe like 2 by 3 or so can't remember
They re small enough to put them in the housing and the result oh boy really nice

Yeah thats what I saw on Luxury Mods. SMD boards! But was wondering about an entire LED kit... Guess I can order the 3 piece from luxury mods and then the rest individually.

I found a complete kit on ebay for around $25. It has 12 bulbs in it (dome, map, doors, trunk, and license plate). The only thing is they don't have leds for the floor board lights (they are extremely tiny) so I just pulled them out.

Just go to Sylvania bulb lookup page and then you can order everything individually. I think the one they don't list is the ignition ring which is a 74 (you can change the colour)

For my experience on license plate led bulbs . Not the best choice cause are not bright enough to get the license plate to see at night specially with cops. Anyways back when I got the car I try to see what another direction to go. Anyway back in the day I found on ebay a built in lenses for license with the board smd leds . Nobody have them in the states so bought it from japan. Now they sell them in the states. Results with this . A super bright license plate.
For the foot area there's super tiny leds bulbs . Here is how my license looks
I take a picture on interior at night so u can see how looks with those boards

Luxury Mods should have EVERYTHING you need. When I ordered from them they gave me everything from foot lights, trunk, etc. even the ones for the key ring

So Im looking at the Kit from Luxury mods, it comes with Doom, Map, Door, and trunk lights. But on the size drop option it says 6SMD, 9SMD, 12SMD, etc etc. What does that all exactly mean? Is that the number of LED bulbs on the board?
