Don't Turn Corner Bulbs Around For Brighter Lights #2!!!!!!!

i rewired my corner lights for 2 months running 60 amps total in both fuse box (supposely 22.5 amps). my bulbs were APC superwhite and i followed the instruction by simply cuttin the lower nut to make it brighter.

the problem is if i dont' run 60 amps my fuse will keeps blowing and my t.tail lights won't come out. and it will also burn my circuits for running such a high amps.

2 days ago i picked up some raybrigs corners (japan imported), changed all fuses back to it's stock amp... and at night the corner light did not seem any dimmer than the one i rewired. i am very happy with the $31 raybrigs i payed.

this is just my personal experience, any feedbacks are welcome.

You won't be happy when those $31 bulbs blow..
I've had Polarg 1156 bulbs in my clearance lights for many months, never a problem .
Yes, the 1156 bulb (single filament) will work, just cut a knub so it can fit in the socket.
You're wasting your money...

not true. i have additional set of superwhite with single filament in garage. plus my raybrigs match with my bottom corner lights, and my signal lights match with my headlight. i dont' want different colors on my head projection.

I've had my normal, non-hyerwhite autozone blubs turned around with a cut nub for almost 2 years now with no problems.
