Default GS tail light bulb experts please respond!!

Apologies for not doing the research....

I just installed my smoked out '98 OEM inner and outer tails and used the stock OEM bulbs that came with the car. They are barely visible during the day.

What is the brightest possible tail bulb that I can use and where can I pick them up?

Both of you have wayyyyyy too much time on your hands....

As for the bulbs, you may be S.O.L. Smoked lights will reduce visibility, some more then others depending on how you did it and how dark it is.

You would need to buy a bulb that draws more power. Make sure that the wiring can handle the increased amount of draw. Im not sure what gauge the wires are. This is no guarantee that it will increase the amount of visible light outside.
