Rep Power: 730

I have some tinted taillights that I made a few years ago. I want to put them in but they are just too dark for daytime driving. So I was wondering if any of you know of extra bright 3157 bulbs or other bulbs for that matter.

Thanks
Fred

i didnt think they made different lights for the back . . . at my store the lights we have for the back are only one kind for the signal, brake and reverse.

the headlights though came up with plenty.

do you think you can change the socket so you can put in a differnt type of bulb ?

Have you tried searching for LED's. I know they make them that replace the stock bulbs and they should be quite a bit brigther and use less power at the same time.

just found this.....

Brightness of LED Car Bulbs
LED bulbs are generally not as bright as standard incandescent bulbs, they have many advantages over filament bulbs (longer life, faster on/off times, lower power consumption, more vivid colors) but brightness is not one of them.
They are generally not as bright but some of them with large numbers of LEDs, will appear brighter than filament bulbs.
As an exception, our new 3 Watt Luxeon LED car bulbs are as bright or brighter than most standard filament car bulbs.
The light is distributed differently so they can appear brighter in some applications and not as bright in others, it depends on the size and shape of the bulb housing and reflector.
Most LED bulbs emit light like a flashlight, all out the end. Regular filament bulbs emit light from the end and all sides, so they will be better suited for some lighting applications than LED bulbs.
This is the same reason why we do not rate LED car bulbs in lumens or watts, the numbers would be deceptively low because the light is measured from all sides and the end on standard filament bulbs but only from the end on LED bulbs

ive had LED bulbs, they would work just make sure you get some that point directly back and if you can have some that have an all around direction, but either way they will be seen, but my look a little funny, when i had em on my truck i just had what looked like red dots in the daylight but at night they looked normal, but a sight i use for all my lighting is "www.autolumination.com" they have good deals and can show you MANY different ideas
