For parking/city 168/194 lites:
People are having problems with the 5 led refrator lites, blinking/burn out on some of the 5 lites after a few months. So im gonna try the SMT version. Just ebay'd it last nite.

If you can find these anywhere in NA, they are the correct ones to use for your Front & Rear Dome lights.

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has to do with the type of mounted used by the LEDs in whatever the application is. Not directly related to quality, longevity, or brightness, but may disperse light differently depending on how they are used and mounted.
