Default Brightest turn signal bulb 7440?

I'm a huge supporter of DRL, but wasn't too thrilled that my car didn't have them. I don't want to turn my headlights on during the day because its not healthy for the HIDs. Instead I just leave the parking lights on all the time. This turns on the signal bulb. I hear those LED cluster bulbs are worse than stock. Any suggestions on a replacement bulb? On corvettes, you can spot those parking lights a mile away.

Default Hmm...

I modified my current white LED parking light with a Luxeon LED, and it's far brighter than what I had before.

As for the turn signals, I made these bulbs using 4 bright amber and one amber Luxeon LED.

It's slightly less bright than stock, but it's still brighter than those LED clusters sold in the market.

I'll be improving this design someday... but too lazy right now.

afro> on the g35-c, there isnt really much you can do to increase the light output in terms of running lamp.

personally, i would just use the HID headlamps.. thats what I do on my S13.. I leave the HID on all day, all night.. I dont care if I waste the bulb, it doesnt matter, since bulbs arent that much money anyway. In the 3-4 years of having HID, I've had to change ONE bulb.. not bad.

We're working on the G35-C headlamp, should have something available in the next month or so.
