Do those smoked corner signals put out a good amount of light? They look like they do.
And are the LEDs in your brake lights / blinkers brighter than the stock bulbs?
Yes and Yes. The LEDs in my brake lights actually blew out so I swapped and hadn't put them back in. The turn signals I never changed because they look good how they are. My favorite 137 bulb I swapped was the reverse lights. So much more light and they look awesome.

So those were just orange halogens? Nice. And would those be these from ebay?

Those are them. And the bulbs are orange 1157's.
These should be sufficient
They're xenon so theyre alot brighter to counteract the tint and they are orange/amber so they are legal. (OEM bulbs are technically illegal in most places with these new lenses)

Thanks for the compliments.
@ NJXJ Where do you live? Maybe we can wheel sometime.
@ SCSjeeper1994 I love the tires. My only complaint is that they dont have big *****. Look good from the front and rear but as far as the side, they could look better. As far as performance, I have not a single complaint. Most reviews online agree with me. Only complaints I have heard as far as performance is that they lack grip in the rain. Yet, I have not encountered this myself.
