Parking Lights..Which bulbs are better for light output?
I've posted my questions up on several threads now and haven't got great feedback.
This is what I'm Going for:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/1894011-post17.html
I was wondering if it would be better to use a one sided LED bulb
http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...00672-1-2.html
or a bulb that shoots straight forward
http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...14825-1-2.html
Or not use a LED bulb at all? It looks like the guy in the post isn't using LED.
Remember the High Beam Housing has chrome in it so light should be reflected..how well it's reflected i have no clue.
My main goal is max light output
Thanks in advanced CL

So i right clicked and saved pic and what did it say? PIAA Ion Crstyal city lights. Even though they are halogen they look damn good in eternity3g's car...I'm currently on Amazon and about to pull the trigger, just gotta make sure i purchase the correct ones.
I'm thinking these ones are it..

I've tried incandescent (Polarg and PIAA) ones and they are way dim compared to LED. Color also changes after time. I have high power v-led ones and they're great. The forward firing ones you linked seems to be brighter by about 25 lumens, by I'm not sure how well they fill the housing since they don't have a high viewing angle.
