I wanted brighter turn signals

Stuff I got: 4 LED bulbs and an electronic flasher relay.



These LED bulbs are too large to fit in the front flush mount, but they fit in the stock rear turn signal housing.

Comparsion: A stock bulb from rear turn signal and an LED bulb.



I put an LED on one side and a stock bulb on the other to compare the brightness and honestly can't tell the difference.



Good $12 wasted

Problem is you need more specific requirements:

1. +500 lumens guaranteed with money-back
2. Directional configuration, half of your light is wasted inside the housing

Are they red LEDs, or white?

Another thing you can do is line inside of turn-signal housing with foil to reflect lost and wasted light that's not going straight back. And get this halogen bulb. It puts out 779 lumens or about 4x as much as factory bulb!
