Red face First post- glad to join the family.. looking for some help

Hey folks, about time i signed up on these forums since i have been lurking around here for the last few weeks. I have a 98 vtr 1000f that i recently purchased that has smoked turn lights on the front and back making it just about impossible to see the lights in the daylight. I have been trying to upgrade to some led turnlights but would love to hear about your experiences with certain ones with hopefully some links you can toss out as well......any ideas would be appreciated... thanks for taking the time to help the newbie out !

Not desiring attention from the LEO's, I kept the stock signals out back but used dual element socket and bulb in the housings. That gives me turn, brake and running lights back there. Up front is just a set of flush mount Lockhart Phillips for $20.

Welcome

As for turn signals I have had "Shock Racing LED Turn Signals" up front and in the back. I have been running them for 3 or 4 years now. They are superbright.
