Problem with brightness of taillights
I have the DTM tails and i got pulled over because a cop said i did not signal but i really did its just that he could not tell because during the day i guess u cant see just the bulb blinking. I thought it was just the cop being a ***** but this morning when my dad was following me he also complained that i did not signal when i changed lanes. So with that said i was wondering what i could do to make it easier to see the bulb? Are there stronger aftermarket amber bulbs? Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

yes u can pick up a set of polarg's hyper amber they are bright. You have to remeber one thing when doing that mod you are painting your reflector this takes away alot of the illumination from the tail thats why its harder for people to see it during the day get some polargs pop them and you shouldn't have a problem with visibily of your taillights

If so, that's your problem.

I put amber bulbs in my turn signals after I did the mod because the stock clear ones weren't very obvious. The ambers are better but my Mom also told me that they didn't look too obvious...I might have to look for brighter ones. I hope they sell those Polargs in Canada.

Yeah, you leave the white & orange reflectors out..People said they can tell im switching lanes, but just to stay away from ticket, I might have to get them polargs. But I have had cop stop me for ticket, and he said nothing about my turn signals, saw them clearly..
