I've had them on my previous car and it was great - but they did kinda looked like neons from the back when I pointed them downwards

I might try 3000K next. The only problem is that I can't really find a reputable company that makes them in halogens.

Why limit yourself to halogen? Although Nokya does sell a nice yellow halogen bulb

Seriously. Get the LEDs.

Once I can justify it, I'll be getting the Stage 2 turn signals from DD. I got a set elsewhere that are probably similar to the Stage 1, but they are amber and cannot penetrate the red vinyl on my taillights. Fronts are better since it's just a clear lense, but still not as bright as I prefer.

I want to see my turn signal reflecting off street signs ahead of me at night. I'm hoping the Stage 2 will be enough.

DD Stage 2 is 11W LED and Stage 3 is 80W LED. Huge difference. That's why I went with other vendor that carry something like 40-50W LED.

Wattage "ratings" do not tell you anything about brightness! That's just what the bulbs are named.

As an average consumer who has no idea what that's saying, I just went with the wattage. haha

At the end of the day, we don't know what's really brighter than what since we can't really get them altogether and compare.

We buy our competitor's products on a regular basis to do just that. Got a budget for it of $1000/month.

DD's got that POWAH! I only got Stage 1 since I wanted to keep it more OEM-looking, but let me know how you like Stage 2. I might be inclined to upgrade. I actually got rear Stage 1 turn signals brand new, installed them, then got my TOM'S taillights less than a week later, so I don't even need the lights anymore or the relays that are already wired to the taillights.

I was going to ask the same thing. Although I thought LEDs didn't have actual "output" - in the sense that you can't properly illuminate the floor with just your LED fogs on. That's why I went with HID bulbs
