Jace is on a distinguished road
wanted to replace some of the exterior bulbs, info?

So a few things I am thinking of.....

replacing the front two cornering lights to a brighter bulb.... LED whiter light or something.... any suggestions?

Also, is there a brighter LED or something to replace the backup reverse light?

Also, the lights under the side mirrors... is there a brighter bulb or replacement to chance these out?

There are a couple of problems with changing the bulbs. The silver or blue coated bulbs get about as hot as the sun and have been known to melt bulb sockets, wiring, housing, etc. The LED's frequently have substantially lower resistance compared to the stock bulb triggering the "replace bulb" warning on the dash. In the end, it is pretty hard to find many good, safe, options.
