Gan777, so they are as bright as the normal bulbs? I used some LEDs before and they are very dim. Just want to make sure before spend $100 on bulbs...
Thanks!
They probably are not as bright as the regular bulbs, but with more of them (3 compared to one), I think you can see better.

They're the lights I used... I just ran an extra wire from though the rubber grommet to activate the white part of the light. It was no big deal and I didn't have to cut or permanently modify any part of my car (aside from tapping the reverse wire).

They are bright enough for reverse lights. That's for sure.

I don't mind the reverse lights, but the turn signals. Are the amber bright enough under board day light? I mean are they as bright as the normal bulb during daytime? Or they are dimmer like other LEDs? Because I wasted money on LEDs before that they were so dim and useless. If the turn signal is dim, I worry about safety as others couldn't see it during daytime. Thanks.

I think they are just as good in the daylight as the stock bulbs. I drive around with my wife and infant in the car so I am confident in thier visibility day and night.
