How can I make my rear E90 turn signals "brighter"?

MarioKart · 09-02-2008, 12:25 PM

I need my rear turn signals to be brighter because I tinted the tops of them. Does someone make a plug and play LED bulb?
Thanks
Mario

I love your taillights. Some of the nicest e90 taillights IMO.

Thanks Bro, I hated the stock E90 tail lights. I thought going with tinted tail lights on a black car would look clean

I tinted my the first set with that kind of head light film but I didn't car for the look. The second time I used Nite Shades spray and clear coat. I also used 1500 grit sand paper and wet sanded them to give it a smoother look. Overall I'm happy but I would love it if the signals were just a little brighter.
What did you use on the tail lights, any pix?

It's going to be very difficult because that is such a dark tint but I'd recommend upgrading them to our V2 LED Turn Signal Bulbs which are a direct swap on to your car. You do need to install resistors but we have full installation instructions that will guide you through it.

Yea, it looks like you need some superbright LEDs

That looks really nice though--very clean, yet sporty. Were you looking into having the new bulbs illuminate stock or white?

Right now they flash like a blood red. I guess I just need a super duper bright white bulb

You can get these assuming the taillights are 1156 bulbs for 12.99 each....
