Do they make high intensity LED replacement lights for The Brake, Reverse, and Rear Turn signals? The reason I ask is because I'm interested in fogging/smoking the rear light panel for that 3rd gen fd look, but I fear the standard bulbs are to weak to shine through bright enough.

PS if they do does anyone know the replacement part numbers?

I know they make LED bulbs that plug into standard parking light or turn signal sockets. I dont know how bright they'll be if you smoke out the lenses, though.

here is something to considerfor the actual tail and brake lights (on a s14 anyways) the sockets for the bulbs are at an angle. they do not point the bulb directly to the rear of the car. they actually point the bulb to the side for some reason. if you get LED lights for the tail and brake lights you would want them to face directly to the rear of the car because the LED is brightest when you look at it head on. i was going to buy the bulbs for my s14 but then i realized that might not work too well. as for the third brake light, i think LED would work fine. i plan to do that to mine just as soon as i get some money to spare.168/194 will work for the third brake light1156 and 1157 for the tail light and for the brake light. those are for s14 but i think they might be the same for a s13.

for the taillight and the brake light? they make stock replacement. i dont think you are gonna get something any brighter. of course you could try a bootleg job and move the sockets so they point directly to the rear of the car. i'm gonna see what i can do with myc ar like that.

Go on Ebay and type in "LED bulb" in the search box, and you'll find a whole lot of choices.

OK NOW HERE I WANT TO ASK YOU ALL THIS, DO YOU THINK THIS IS RICE? IT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE MY DECISION BUT I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU ALL FEEL IS RICE. IT'LL ESSENTIALLY LOOK LIKE A 3RD GEN FD WHEN COMPLETED.

I PLAN ON:1.) INSTALLING ISOLATING CYLINDERS FOR CONCENTRATED CIRCLES2.) INSTALLING 4 HIGH-INTENSITY RED LEDS (2 FOR DIM RUNNING LIGHTS, 4 FOR BRIGHT BRAKE LIGHTS)3.) BLANKING OUT THE LOWER TURN SINAL AND MAKING THE OUTER MOST RED LIGHTS BLINK4.) REPLACING THE REVERSE LIGHTS WITH HIGH-INTENSITY LEDS5.) LEAVING THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT STOCK6.) FOGGING THE ENTIRE LIGHT BAR A SMOKE BLACK

WELL I'M ALSO OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS, I WANT TO BE SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT SO LIGHT SWAPS ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION. ANY INFO/HELP/SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APRECIATED.
