Rewiring Corners.........

I'm sick at looking at how dim my corner lights are, especially after buying these PIAA's.They look exactly the same as the stock ones. Has anyone experienced any problems once they've rewired their corner lights....? Do the bulbs blow out quicker or will my wires get fried?

Thanks

You dont have to rewire your corner lights to make them brighter. There's a much easier way.. all you have to do is solder the 2 connections on the bottom of the bulb together.. this will give you the same results as rewiring the connections but ALOTTTTTT faster and easier. The fuse might blow after you do this.. its a 7.5, replace it with a 10.

That's exactly what I did except I used a piece of tin foil cause I couldn't solder them because it's not metal. Works fine for me, I got the same light intensity all around.

I had mine in for about 3 weeks now with no problems(except the blown fuse at first)... you shouldnt have any problems with the wiring..
