The stock bulb is 194 which is 2 candlepower. You could use a 168 which is 3CP (50% brighter) but that may not be enough if your tint is really dark. The brightest that will fit is the 3652 at 5CP - more than twice as bright as stock. However, the 3652 isn't a common bulb so you might have to do some shopping around to find them.
