I changed all my interior lights to red LEDs. I got them from V-LEDs. I forget our bulb size but it's not too hard to find. I loved these LEDs so much that I also replaced my license plate lights with their LEDs and added red LEDs to my fender vents. They are a tad pricey though and they get you with shipping so make sure you buy all the LEDs you want in one sweep.

I changed my 6 interior lights and 2 license plate bulbs with LED lights. They're $10 a piece at Autozone. Didn't want to mess around with online ones. Expensive, but worth it.

Just wondering if changing out plate bulbs make more light out back when backing up?

Is there a more powerful bulb to use to that backup light??

I have yet to find a license plate bulb that's adequate enough. I wish they made one with some CREE LEDs that face downward when installed.

As for the turn signals and reverse lights, the light in this thread are good. To change out those four bulbs, it'll cost over $90.

Check my post: https://ls1tech.com/forums/17427549-post25.html

The ones that I bought are at the end of my post.

You could try HIR bulbs. A little modification need for our cars. This is waht I will be using in the GP.

Color is 3600k nad lumens are 1900-2500.

Go with HIRs if you plan to stick with halogens. They require a bit of modification but will provide the most light output. If you want a straigt plug and play I would recommend philips X-treme power or x-treme visions. Just remember that any bulb with a blue coating on the lens is actually emitting less light even though it appears whiter.
