i dont know were you could get brighter bulbs but i think i read on here you can wet sand the tails so the coat of paint or watever gets thinner.

u could buy LEDs.. cut out the back of the taillight, mount LEDs in that peice u cut out, seal em in. then seal that peice back in. Then just wire every only 2 LEDs or so for parking, then for brakes/turn have all them wired for that.

You'll need to get wide angle L.E.D.s to disperse the light properly inside the taillight lens such as a 25 L.E.D. 3157 replacement with wide viewing angles, 6 radial L.E.D.s and 19 forward facing L.E.D.s Check out www.superbrightleds.com. It's a good place with alot of info if you want play around with automotive L.E.D. lighting, plus they're a hell of alot cheaper then most places.
