Nooooooo wrong one!!! You want the 360 degrees bulbs like I txted you about. The way the LEDs are positioned in the 360 deg ones, the light will bounce all around inside off the reflective materials for a nice glow accent. http://www.ebay.com/itm/180838949878...ht_4819wt_1163

Oh yea.... it's kinda hard to capture the true lighting of these LEDs. The pics I took were with my phone camera, and it overexposes the lighting. I think in person, you can see each individual LEDs better. During the day, with them on, it's a bit hard to see. At night, it looks amazing though.

Well, those 194s I linked from VLEDs, they are the fwd facing only yea, but I can literally drive down an unlit street with just those things on and see pretty damn well.

They are the highest output they carry for that size. Freakin bright.

If you want super bright forward facing, find CREE led. They are projector style with a clear lens. I use them in my reverse light (by accident). I should have gone with a 360 style so the light will bounce around the reflectors inside the housing, but they are super bright so still visible during the day.

Never been a fan, but these are the best I've seen I like em cuz the leds are all the way down and spaced closely so it illuminates the whole piece, not just 3 or 4 lights for the whole piece. If a member made them would he do rear turn signals?

There was a guy that did a retrofit for the rear turn signals with an insane amount of LED's in them. It looked amazing. I believe he also did a sequential setup (like the new Mustang's). It looked awesome, but I believe he wanted a few hundred (upwards of $500 I believe) for his work and I don't believe he continued doing them.

Search around for it... I may be wrong, maybe he is still doing the work.

If you go on YouTube and search around for LED Reflectors, there is a guy that makes Switchback LEDs retrofit for the Reflectors and Rear Turn Signals. They are siiiiiiiiick, but I didn't feel like paying $400+ for a set, when knowing the materials probably only cost $100 tops. Those switchback setup basically are White LEDs, but once you initiate the turn signal/hazard blinkers, they switch to orange. Maybe a little more complicated on the wiring part, but @ a price tag of $400+, I'd rather buy ART Pipes lol. I paid ~$200 for my set, which I thought was pretty fair pricing considering the amount of work put in and cost of shipping.
