+1, I throw on my set of LEDs during the winter months. The fog around here is crazy then.

I found my LED tail lights on eBay for pretty cheap a few years ago, give that a shot.

Your vehicle may require an LED compatible Flasher or Load Resistor

Get the sequential LEDs from MossMuscle and kill two birds with one stone.

Adding just brighter regular bulbs MAY overload the factory wiring plus cause more heat in the light, melting the lens.

You could check to see if Sylvania has Silver Star bulbs for your application. Definitely check the wattage. On most of those bulbs, I think the wattage is the same as the stock bulbs, so overloading the wiring would not be a problem. The trade-off is much shorter bulb life. The fine in California for a "fix it" ticket, such as a burned out bulb, is now up to $114! As for the bulb getting so hot that it melts the plastic, I don't know.
