Hey guys just finished clearing the lights and replaced the brake bulbs with the LED ones. They look much brighter and look alot better than the pictures in real life.

Are the LEDs much brighter than stock or what? What about when the sunlight in on the lights can you still see them from a distance away? I really want LED bulbs in there but I just wanna know if they're going to be much brighter? Oh ya and what bulbs did you use? Where did you get them from? Anyways they look really nice and clean.

Where do you get the clear corner lenses

If you mean the tail lights, from ebay and then I opened them up using a heat gun and took out the color insets. There is a lenthy post regarding on how to do this somewhere around here.

After the lights are cleared you can see right through them since the clear lense part that remains doesnt have too many groves in them. This being the case when you use the LED bulbs rather than just red light you can see all the LED's light up individually which looks pretty good IMO. As far as brightness they seem to be pretty brights but the light is more concentrated in one direction. So if you look at them from the side of the car they are not as bright as when you are standing behind the car. But I did test them out durring the day in the sun and they are perferctly visible. Im not sure what the brand the bulb's were, I just went to the local Autozone to look for colored bulbs when I saw these and decided to give it a try. They were $14 a set.
