Corner lights

Recently I changed corner light bulbs from halogen to LED,
it looks SO MUCH better, but it's also a lot dimmer

I don't want to disable corner lights function as I think its great safety function (not sure why so many don't want to use it)

I was wondering, is there anything I can do to make the lights brighter? may be some sort of amp?

SMD chips are much brighter than those bulb style LED's. This is my door courtesy light. 12 SMD panel


and this is my dome..36 SMD panel

you know the only difference between US seller and China seller is

US seller BUYS from the China seller and then charges 4x more, right?

The problem is definitely those cheap *** bulbs you bought. Get some SMD's and you won't have any problems.
