Chrome Bulbs?
i bought new red clears for my 96
was wondering if anyone has used chrome bulbs? i know they reduce light output, but i was curious by how much difference in brightness?
i want my lights to look good without that fried egg look. if theyre pretty good im going to change all my front clears too. (194,1156,1157)

I dunno, I've installed chrome bulbs in my corners & they had a low white output!
Go with amber.

regarding led's i got amber one's with a total of 35 led's on the front sides and back and i was discouraged with the output. it looks neat from the back when they blink because you can see the individual bulbs but the light output wasn't as good as stock clear bulbs. also you'll probably need load resistors for the led's....

I have the chrome (light up amber) bulbs in my front corner lights and love them. I just need to get them for my front & rear turn signals now, I hate how my Silverstars look when they're not lit.

I have orange ones in my DTM tails, flipped/cut 1157's in clearance lights, 194's and 1156s on clear corners. Personally i think all of them look very good. Just gineric Sylvania orange bulbs from advance auto, i like how they look during the day, and they look great at night when lit up.
