You can see that it lights up the floor even with the street lamps on.

I would just get a pair of high powered flanks from Warden_JP on ebay and call it a day. its about 6-8bucks shipped a pair, and they are pretty much as bright as the stock bulbs, which is sufficient IMO.

Yiujai86, are you talking about the VLED flanks?
if so they do not fit very well in the 2IS puddles.... the way the housing is set up...there's just not enough room.
as for the 27SMT...mine burned out in the city light housing after 3 months, three of the SMT's started flickering...and then six....then it became a night club in my headlamp

I am not sure what the VLED ones look like, but the warden_jp ones i got on ebay are the same foot print as a regular bulb, and have one sideways firing LED. they fit inside the housing fine as they are not larger than a regular bulb.

im stickin wit the polargs for awhile. gotta get some other issues resolved at the moment and i dont feel like opening the mirrors again, not yet anyways. looks good i might get the flanks then and try it out and use it on the side steps as well with the clear lens. after the winter is over i'll start on that with some other mods in mind.
