I have the 6K 194 bulbs and am happy: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...-p8187987.html
They also have 5K: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...-p8761053.html
Mine have been running for a year now with no issues. I think the heat sink is important, as these lights are on for long periods of time.

I installed 5 SMD leds in the rear Reverse lights. They DO NOT help reversing at all. They do have a sharp Led clear LOOK to them but they do not light up the surrounding area, I thought they would help.
They are no help in reversing. does anyone have a better solution. I have a very similar bulb Led, just like your 3 smd Leds BUT I have 5 SMD led. 4 in all around the the knob to get all angles, and 1 led facing straight out back.
And these do not help.

And these do not help.
here's how my interior LEDs (and the license plate LEDs) compare to the ones for my reverse lights.
for reference, this is what my interior looks from the outside:
the door light:
and the license plate light:
Now for the comparison...
this is the 3-LED bulb I bought locally. shot at 1/2000 sec to accurately show the 3 LEDs inside a wide angle housing. I have these in the four upper dome lights (2 front, 2 rear), door lights and in the license plate housing (total of 4 pairs altogether).
this is what it looks like in real-time, 1/60 sec shot, as it is mounted on the license plate light bulb housing:
this is the recent pair I bought from autolumination. it has 5 LEDs but they are not encased in a housing to properly disperse the light. it will fit in the same locations as the bulb I have above. here you can see 3 of the 5 LEDs as I shot it at an angle (1/2000 sec):
this is what it looks in real-time, 1/50 sec shot, as it is mounted on the reverse light bulb housing:
here is their comparo : the 5 LED bulb on the driver left (near camera), the 3 LED on driver right (near the refrigerator). shot in real time, 1/2 sec.:
another angle, still the same orientation, shot at 1 sec:
this is the most telling comparison, almost directly from the rear. shot at 1/3 sec:
the 5 LED is definitely brighter, and the pictures (as close as I can get them shot without unusually long exposures) are as close as I can get them to being accurate in real-time.
hope this helps

I have 13SMD towers and they really made my reverse lights a bit better than the factory bulbs and they look good overall. Those CREE bulbs look very bright, do they distort the camera view at all?
