Okay guys, this may seem like a weird one. Got a couple questions about turn signal bulbs.

Here's the story. I decided that I wanted to add foglights to my 2007 V6's lower bumper to emulate the look of the parking lamps on the 1968 and the S197 GT500 foglights. Installed a set of Hella H13090611 Micro DE Series Fog Lights, but wasn't happy with the results. The lamps themselves were awesome, but how I mounted them didn't work out as well as I had hoped.

I decided I was gonna have to come up with a plan B, which after doing some additional research, turns out shoulda been plan A all along. I figured out that I can just use the fixtures for 1968 parking lamps! I just wired them up to the harness from the Hella's and "boom", all set.





Now, They're not very bright, which is fine, but if I can get brighter, I'd like to. They use 1157 bulbs, and I was looking at replacement 1157 LED bulbs.

Questions are: Will these be truly white, or are they gonna be that sci fi looking blue? And, assuming heat isn't an issue since they're LEDs, would there be any reason I wouldn't want to wire up both leads instead of just the one I have now?

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

 

LED bulbs will be sci-fi looking. The light will be white white, not blue. Which is different then what most people are accustomed to. The covers might take a way some of the whiteness. I don't know how much brighter they will be then what you have now. Must of the LEDs that I have had experience with are not extremely bright if they have more then on bulb. The tend to scatter the light instead of projecting a focused beam

 

You may want to try a krypton bulb like 3496 it's brigther than 1157, 2057, and 2157 but still uses incadecent technology and is interchangeable. I think LED will look fake or ricer.
