To all of those w/Cleared out Turns signals in 2k2-2k3 headlights

ok I cleared my turn signals out, and put a pair of chrome bulbs I bought off of ebay for like $12 in.
My problem is my turn signal is really dim, alot of times I question if people can tell that I am turning during daylight hours....
So I was wondering if anyone had better luck with different bulbs, maybe LED's? any input greatly appreciated. (except anyone whos says just leave the white bulbs in there, I'm not tryin to get pulled over)

Hey, i see that you have clear bumper lenses, do you have a good place that you got them from? I am looking at about $32 for just the front bumper lights. Just wanted to see what you thought. I have used the wide angle single center 4 surround LEDs from an ebay store called Velocity Leds, they look brighter than my stock blubs. Hope this helps, A.

I would think LEDS would be the way to go.

you'll need a resistor for leds or the blinker will blink fast as if there is no bulb there
