Default High intensity tail lights

Anyone here know where I can get high intensity tail lights at? I would like to install my blackouts but I need to have the lights show through. Right now I only see a tinsy amount of light showing. The brighter the better. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I havent heard of any brighter tail lights for our cars.. i also have the blackouts front and rear, so i hear ya. But i hear storied that people melt their lenses because of the blackouts, so i dunno if i want to put a brighter, and therefor hotter, bulb in there....

The stock bulbs are known to melt the OEM lenses behind the blackout so a higher intensity bulb will worsen the problem.

Damn and no one has thought of a way to make a bulb run cooler and show brighter at the same time yet? That really bites.

Roarin_8 the light you are thinking of is called led. But with black outs I would call HZ Enginering and buy theres with inline transformer. Very nice and bright. like 12 leds per bulb.
