I did Polarg and like the look...if you want the most bright and the most white get LEDs they have some for both of the lights you're looking to replace I think in 9 LED... www.superbrightleds.com or www.autolumination.com I have heard however that with LED's when you use the blinker that they blink twice as fast as normal..actually here is what superbrightleds says . . ."LED bulbs may cause some newer vehicles to indicate a bulb is burnt out (because of their low power consumption). Some cars indicate this by increasing the flash rate of the turn signals, some do not flash at all. This can be remedied with load resistors wired across the turn signal bulbs to simulate a filament bulb load. We have these available by our LED turn signal bulbs in our online shopping cart."


[note] my Polargs are not that bright as you can see in the picture however you can rewire them to make them run constantly at the same brightness as they are when you turn on the blinker (which is real white and bright)

thanks for all the feedback Kruppa. I already bought the white LED's from autolumination with the load equalizers. Their white is actually quite purpelish and I have my sidemarkers rewired to flash with the blinkers and LED's in the sidemarker don't flash during the day. So I think I'll go back to the xtreme white PIAA's or go with the Polarg's. I am very interested in the rewire to make them run constantly as if they are flashing. If any one has directions that would be great. THANKS
