I have an 03 gs300 and im trying to change my day running lights to a very hi definition white. i just recently went out and bought the 194 led white bulbs and put them in but its still not giving me the brightness that i want. someone told me go hid but i have no idea how to do... also im interested in some euro tail lights for my car. they look like the ones below

if anyone knows where i can get these... or if anyone has any they are trying to get rid of some.
and also normally when you put in new frames for the tail lights are there any problems i should expect to encounter?

the search function is where you can find a lot of answers to questions.. but anyways i'm on the same boat you are and from what i've read and noticed is that you have two bulbs in the center headlights, one is a mini wedge bulb and the other is 9005 bulb. changing the wedge bulb alone isn't going to give you the bright white your looking for. the 9005 bulb is what is on as your DRL(day time running lights) and even when you change those for those nokya or aftermarket white bulbs such as silverstars that go out every month, they still aren't gonna give you the look you want because they only run at half wattage. many have swapped out the 9005 bulbs to LED bulbs but many have claimed that they only work when they're used as highbeams because they don't work at half wattage.
as for the LED tails, be careful purchasing some from ebay, from what i've read many are being mass produced and made in china, so they aren't the best quality. i've heard k2motors sales some better quality led tails. You shouldn't encounter any problems with the tails either since they're almost all direct plug and play with the exception that the 98-00 need an upgrade on the wire harness for the reverse light to work.
and oh yeah next time SEARCH NOOOBE!! haha jk welcome
