Cornering Bulb Options - only GP Thunder?
What are you guys using? Are GP Thunder's any good/reliable? Have never heard of them. What are my other options?
I'll be doing OSS headlights so hoping to color match as closely as possible. |

No, the inner bulb like Tom mentioned below. I'm having OSS redo the turn signals.

Inner bulbs are H3 and available in 7500 & 8500 temps, and in stock. We'll even install them at no extra charge for locals.

I'm curious as to why you want to make them brighter? They aren't on very much. They only come on in certain circumstances.
Either way, I don't think there are any options out there to make the cornering bulbs brighter. I think, as TECH said, you can only really look to change the color for a better match.

Changing color is fine, but don't play with increased wattage levels on this lamp.

We coded mine to turn on these bulbs with high beams and flash to pass.... adds some nice light on dark rainy nights on curvy backroads I travel often. We didn't mess adding wattage so I assume I should be fine and not have to deal with any melting issues Tom mentions above.
Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll just keep it OEM for now. |
