    Good quality corner/turn signal white LEDs?

    Does anyone here have white LEDs for their turn signal lights? Do you like them? I am thinking of buying some to replace my amber lights but I am looking to buy a quality set, any suggestions?

    Just the base is the difference iirc. Should be able to use them but not the 1157 but the 1156 ones.

    You can hit the amber bulbs with silver paint and it works perfect I believe. Done.

    CREE LED bulbs is where it's at. 25W or higher will have equivalent light output to factory LEDs on the new BMWs, which are BRIGHT.
    I have them in my front corners and rear turn signals, though mine are amber. I will be replacing the somewhat anemic LED bulbs in the brake light housings with CREE down the road as well.

    IMPORTANT: Make sure the bulb you buy is a CANBUS bulb, meaning it will not have any light out errors or hyperflash.

    Where did you get the Cree Bulbs? I'm thinking it's time for RCR's but I want LED's atthe same time?

    Thanks for the info! Looks like the 1156 Morimoto XB Bulbs may be what I'm looking for.

    If you look here http://www.theretrofitsource.com/led-lighting.html many of these lights are Cree as you can see in the descriptions.
