Brighter Tail Light Bulbs?

Looking For Something A Bit Brighter For My Tail Lights On My 1969 Roadrunner..

What Is Everyone Using?

Do I Need A Different Flasher If I Go LEDs...

Of you go LEDs you will need a flasher and/or a resistor. I put (made) LED taillights for my Cuda and the flasher didn't work but a resistor did (only needed 1 for both taillights).

There are brighter bulbs, however what I have found is that brighter typically means hotter which can cause problems. This or something like it is the way to go

A new digital flasher only runs about $12.95 . . . Not a big deal

I went from 1157's to 2057's if I remember correctly. They did make a noticable difference. And the photo is the tail lights on taken in the afternoon.

I’ve used ‘Ron Francis Wiring’ bulb replacements for my 1157 tail lights in my ‘65 coronet. They have what they call ‘brite bulbs’ that i used & they turned out to be a little less than 2x’s as bright as the originals. I like them & they work fine, but they were not LED’s. They do make LED’s as well.

I also have the entire R/Francis full harness & fuse box wiring system in my ‘90 Ramcharger and it has worked super for over 10 years. Not sure what else is out there.....been a while since i looked.
Their web site is: https://www.ronfrancis.com/
Hope this helps. Scott in SC

Electronic flasher and LED's will make it brighter and cheaply done. Buy on Amazon.

I removed the lens and applied shiny aluminum tape inside. It helped some.

I also considered crushing aluminum foil and then opening it back up leaving the many different facets, but haven't tried that yet.

Do a search on tail lights, there was a thread about them. The guy is a wizard on lighting.
For my 67 R/T he said to use a Honda blub, There was a visible difference.
He has a web page that goes into great detail about lighting, I just cant remember his name right now.

LikeToolman said above I changed my 1157s
to 2357s made by Eiko.
Bought them from the auto parts store.
They won't last as long as1157s,but you'd have to use your car as a dailey driver to worry about it
