How to make tail lights & signals brighter?
I'm planning on going for some tinted tails but don't want to become invisible, expecially at night or in bad weather. So, how can I brighten up my rear end? No, I don't mean rear fog light, i mean brighten up the tail lights & signals? Is there a way to add a second tail light bulb or what about higher wattage lights? Can the wiring take it?

maybe try this, I am planning to get these. Someone from the A4 forum reccomended them..
i think he used them for reverse lights, they were bright as hell, but i think they would be too bright for parking lights... look around there you might find something...<ul><li><a href="http://store.yahoo.com/racinglab/raysinfilhyp.html">lights</a></li></ul>

I think 3157 bulbs are slightly brighter than normal 1157 bulbs for example.
I looked up some of the specs on the bulbs and found this tidbit. I doubt it will make too much difference, though.

The only problem I've found with LED's.....
is that they are not "omni-directional". I keep passing this jeep every morning seems-like with LED tail/brake lights. All I see is basically a spot of light. Although it is bright enough, it doesn't take advantage of the reflector. A normal bulb glows in all directions and thus the reflector reflects that light out the taillight. They need to make LED bulbs such that the LED's are aimed in almost all directions.
