Yep get some 194 LED bulbs. Much brighter. autoillumination cheap. I got some 6 LED 194's and they stand out.

WARNING: LEDs are like crack. There is a LED Monkey who will sink his teeth into your wallet. It's a nasty addiction. If you really can just do the four side maker lights and call it done, you're my hero.

I just got some LED halos from COH and side markers, reverse, and switchbacks for the DRLs from Richard. Next up are interior lights. I think it updates the C5 a little. If you're thinking brighter, beware of the HID headlights and foglights monkey...

You can get cluster 194 LED's in amber and red for the side marker lights, and Sylvania Silverstar turn signal bulbs at any of the discount auto stores.
I got my bulbs from autolumination clear/red,clear/amber and switchback turn signal led's. If you do led's for the turnsignals you'll need the flasher bypass from Richard. (great to deal with)

JDM has been there done that and found what I think is a GREAT lighting setup

Check out post #92. Those are the corner towers you want I just did the JDM corner setup and added the 48 led switchbacks in the drl, then the following leds in the corner. Good luck!
