I was going to try the 1156 bulbs and file one of the ***** down, but i got wrong color bulbs. I didn't want to rewire the car, so I tried rewiring the 1157 bulbs themselves.

All I did was short the two metal connections on the bottom of the bulbs. I soldered a little wire between the two connections on the bulb and it worked perfect.

i thought about doing it that way, but i change my mind, you have 8w and 27w together= 35w, maybe a little hot, let me know how this work out. must be damn bright!!!
