You don't think that something like that would be bright enough? I was also thinking to put #?LED's bulbs in turn signals and revers lights, in front turn signals as well. http://superbrightleds.com/1157.htm

THats exactly what you DONT want, it wont light up the entire lens... all you will see is a small round red dot

WORD OF CAUTION:

I recently purchased 2 bulbs. EAch bulb has 19 LEDS rated at 10000 mcd of brightness.

When you put these into your tailights....they look exactly the same as a regular bulb. I'm not sure why, but I know I waster $7 per bulb. These are the same bulbs sold on superbrightleds.com.

Just my word of caution. I think you can buy the 30leds per bulb one, but it is much larger and I'm not sure if it will fit in the taillight housing.

Also, If you are buying brake lights or rear turn signal lights, you should just get them in white. Because, the covers are already painted red/yellow. Adding more color to it does not mean it will be brighter.

I'm thinking of just buying superbright bulbs for the rear lights. I also tried cutting one of the little nubs off for more power....(*just like the corner light mod) and that still did nothing.

If anything, get the gen II altezzas.

LED bulbs of any kind are ONLY bright if looked at directly as in a clear housing... not even a frosted housing, a clear housing like diamond cut turn signals.

If you use them through a colored lens like the stock tail lights, etc. the light gets broken up, scattered, etc. as the lens was designed to do with regular bulbs... not LED's.

But if you were to use them in the turn signal portion of the Gen II's, the center of the outer rings, they would be as bright as the adjacent LED's because they'd be shining unobstructed.

LED's have very focused lighting and even the LED's that spread light only spread it enough to "fill in" the lens but won't really make it any brighter. You'll get a red lens with a little red circle in the middle instead of a dark burgandy lens with a little red circle in the middle.

you're pretty tough kid. you started off on the wrong foot, and it is definitely not ok to come around here and jack everyone's thread with links to your schitty car. do yourself a favor and start all over with a new username, then try again. you'll get it right sooner or later. this is an internet forum. not your high school

Yea well thats great for him. But I like the front end of my auto . By the way if I wanted red/ clears I would have bought them but I paid way more money for Gen II's 200.00. They look so sweet when there lite up!!!

Terran,
M aybe I was trying to make a point, stoop down to there level. If any of you are taking this serious, than I think you need to grow up.
This is all fun in games, its called messing around with each other, trying to be children for a lil bit, there is nothing wrong with that. I mean maybe thats why I've been elected at police academy to be a recruit because I act like a CHILD!

Okay dude grow up let me get to your level for a sec...

Want to talk about mods? we dont need to go there... check out my cardomain for that

Second, your proud of being a recruit at 27 because you think you've finally matured?

I'm a cop and I'm 21 and worked for the department since i was 19... sounds like someone took too long to grow up.

Enjoy the job...

Hey smart a$$,

15.5's try 14.0 What? whats so special about your site its
I ran my familys business since I was 14. I have my own business right now, would you like to purchase a Wide Screen HDTV? Or prolly to much for you to spend. I was shot by a dart gun when I was 16, I just found out I could be an officer last year. Since being blind in one, I thought I couldn't be one. So now I will enjoy the dream of being what I always wanted to be and thats to be a cool cop and help people. Sounds like your a typical wise a$$ cop that thinks he knows it all. Enjoy yourself

Wow you just proved yourself totally.

I said nothing was ever special about my site
I just said look to see my mods since you decided to rub that in.

15.5, yea thats probably what I can do.. and? Your point? I never said I was fast. Sure I can run a 14.0 with cheat juice too, doesnt make you anymore special... hell I could probably make a Geo run 14's with spray
You own your business, great for you, I never asked that... theres 15 year old kids in college that are super geniouses, doesnt mean they've matured.
I already learned a very long time ago that if you want a job that makes money, the Police Department is sure not the place to go... so if your trying to insult me by saying I'm poor, go right ahead.. but I know I have my health, my own place to live and I'm happy, what else matters? grow up kid.

I have respect for all police officers, I don't respect cops who just like the power of the badge, but what I have seen so far is someone that thinks he can insult who he feels and doesnt like any lip back, you might be able to do that with people you deal with but not me fella.

-You have a family business since you were 14
-You were shot by a dart gun when you were 16
-You are blind in one eye
-You are ready to be a cool cop and help people.


now wtf does that have to do with anything regarding your tailights. By your few posts, you've made your mark on the org. I suggest you stop.
