Be careful with SMT tower bulbs. They are not NEARLY as bright as the OEM Sylvania bulbs. I replaced my rear turns with 18 SMT towers and they put out MAYBE half the light that the stocker bulb put out. I exchanged it with a 3W Luxeon and I got maybe 80% of the stock brightness.
In the front, its a whole different issue. The 3W Luxeon was probably close to 1.5x brighter than the stocker. The rear reflector turn housing is NOT designed for LEDs and thus makes it a really difficult issue for LED replacements.
Just my 2c, I'm sure people have had a lot of luck with their LEDs but thought I would list my experience with SMTs.
