i could be mistaken, but i believe if you get Sylvania 194LL's you'll see some improvement....

Chances are slim you will find it at an auto parts store, but a great replacement for the 194 corner marker lights, is a XE5/12 bulb. It is a 5W Xenon gas replacement for the 194/168 bulbs.

There are also Xenon gas replacements for the 1157/2057's as well.

One vendor of mine has them in Amber, Red, and "Xenon Blue."

Xenon Blue is a white with slight bluish hue.

Email me for quote.

Ok I want to run tailight blackouts but I want to brighten the brake lights up. Any suggestions for those?

IF you dont mind, can you please leave the stock part numbers and the brighter replacement blub part #s for the following lights on a 3rd gen camaro

The front turn signals
The side front turn signals
The brake lights
The stock grill (fog) lights
The back up lights
The rear turn signal lights
The third brake light

Thanks man, really appreciate it.

I don't think it's kosher to post that sort of stuff here.

Please email me on it.

There is a 50W halogen replacement for the single filament 1156. And a 15W/50W dual filament 1157 replacement.

Keep in mind here.. higher wattages are more heat, not just light. But if you want something to power through your blackouts, these would do it.

I don't have an application guide for all bulbs required for your Camaro.

But the typical bulbs for the car are either 194's, 1157, 2057, and 1156.

1157/2057 are dual filament, for dual purpose, running and brake (or running and flash.)
