LED amber turn signals
My ‘14 250 AWD has regular tungsten (1156?) amber bulbs at all 4 corners. Can I replace them with LED bulbs?
I would want high quality/bright units if possible.
TIA!

Are you sure it's 1156 and not 7440/7444 bulbs? You can fit LEDs regardless, you'll need resistors for them to prevent hyper flashing as well.
I recommend
Alla Lighting 7443 Ambers
For resistors, if you don't want to tap into wiring I recommend these
Load Resistors

Why making them super bright?
It's super annoying to both pedestrians and those following your car!

Brighter is better sells. MOAR LUMENS. I'm converting all my cars to have two signal light modes, day is normal night is 60%.

We are talking about TURN SIGNALS here, why do we need SUPER BRIGHT TURN SIGNALS?
What's the point?

I should have been more clear, I want them AS BRIGHT, as OEM. My primary reason, is I don’t like the way tungsten bulbs that “glow” on, then off…I like/want the bulbs that are instant on/off, like LEDs are.

There are dozens of LED bulbs that are not super bright but most are yellow not amber.

I never said the word “super”.
