So, I purchased some white LED parking lights and installed them...since the stock bulbs give off a yellow color and interfere w/ my Supa White low-beams...so since the LED's are white they match pretty well now....Then I also just took the bulb outta where the amber corner lights up...so that makes the entire healight set-up look Hella TIGHT at night...Ok, just thought I share, if anybody has a similar story they care 2 share...Go for it!

If you're dead set on keeping white LED's in the headlight housing, try www.superbrightleds.com. The 6-bulb cluster 194's are pretty bright, so are the directed cluster 194's. Should do you better than those. I had a pair of 'tuner shop' inverted cone LED's in my headlights for a while, and they were never bright enough.
Of course, if you want bright, go with PIAA 194 bulbs. I get flashed occasionally by people who think I'm driving around with my headlights on during the day. Which is fine by me, I drive with my parking lights on for safety anyway--just means it's working.

and besides.. the reason why we can't have clear corners.. is also the reason why it's not a good idea not to have a bulb in there.
