EUROLITE is the brand the Led's are red for my brakes only get the Eurolite #1157 for the clearance lights the lights right next to the headlights....go here..

I use nothing but Eurolites for ALL bulbs on my car and I like them.....

most of us rewire those lights to get more wattage output anyway for 27w and no your harness is fine for these you only need a harness to run higher headlight bulbs...

When buying the Eurolite 1157 do you have to purchase (2) of them? Or do they come packaged as a pair?

I Run 1156's

I run 1156's in my corners because the 1157's get too hot. Who knows what the actual whitest bulb I can get is fro the clearence lenses. I haven't had any luck with the ones I've been using. They all have a bluish tinge.

Are you saying that it is fine to rewire the lamps and use these bulbs? I rewired mine and the bulbs look great (real bright) but I am afraid that they may run to hot and warp my lamps. Is this the case with you?
