Cut the top nub off the bulb with nail clippers.

Cut off one of the nubs on the bulb.. I forget if it's the top or bottom. The goal is to install the bulb backwards.. You should be able to figure it out when you look the socket. This will cause the bub to run at a higher wattage.

yeah but I've heard that doing that makes the bulb run at the higest wattage therefore burning out the harness...


Anyone have any info on that?

Just buy the amber colored ones like I did and turn them yellow. Forget trying to make them brighter or match your headlights. It looks really cool, when you do that and match them with the clear bumper lights with the same color bulbs in them too. IMO
