What kind of bulb do you use in "turn assist" section. I see that the socket is 1156, but with standart P21W it's not effective to be used az "turn assist". Can I replace it with something powerfull?

I use 1156 yellow bulb on mine and have it set up as daytime running lights and its pretty bright. I did remove the reflector though

The socket says 1156.. Therefore you need to use a bulb type 1156.

P21W is very similar to 1156 but the lack of nickel plating is an issue compared to the brass version.

There are 2 types of 1156 .. 12v/21w / 12v/28w ... general consensus says that 28w bulbs will not harm your socket.

Hope that helps u.

r3v_v3ng3 I can't use yellow bulbs for DRL because of the rules in my country. But to remove the reflector though is very good idea.
chuckthefuk I saw 55W halogen bulb with 1156 socket but I think it will burn the reflector because of the heat.
I try also LED bulbs but it's not stronger than normal bulbs.

I tried some LEDs and didn't like them. Now I have Sylvania LL bulbs in there. I ordered some yellow bulbs but they sent me an 1156 and an 1157. I'm waiting for the other 1156...
