I know someone posted a link on where to buy brighter circle LED for the new headlight buckets but have spent the last hour searching for it and can't find it. Mine barley light up and would like to replace them with something brighter. Any guidance/ help would be appreciated.

I think Mechie3 had them posted in his build thread too.

Those look great! Just need to find a similar dual purpose fender light for the turns and clearance lights.

FFR once said they are brighter when lit by an alternator (charging) versus a battery alone. I have not confirmed this myself, but I assume they did. How did you test yours?

We test with a power supply that puts out 13.8V so it shouldn't be any different than when hooked up to an alternator and we did notice they were decently bright but only from a direct angle. From anything off to the side they were somewhat weak.

This was totally the issue. I was testing it off the battery and then off of a charge box to verify. Once the car was started they were much brighter.

Thanks for the responses.
