anyways to make amber signal/parking lights brighter?

i often use my parking lights as my daytime running lights since i just like it better and believe they can be seen no prob.

since i do use them as DRL i wanted to make them brighter, anyway to do that?

i use my driving lights until its dark anyways, so in that afternoon to night time, i use parking lights only.

i'm gonna be doing my headlight housing CTR grey soon, all this is on a 1.6EL

stock is 5w for parking light/20w for signal? i've seen 8w/30w?

its a 1157 bulbs?

would 32 LED's work, they are white but that won't matter with the amber plastic on the light right?

get a brighter bulb ie. super white bulbs and put them behind the red and orange.

as for led's i wouldnt recommened it cuz the led's will make your blinkers flicker quicker cuz of the low current they draw. it will be like having a blown bulb

any way to use a resistor or something for the LED's. i think thats the only way i'm going to get the brightness i want. stock parking light is 5w, so 8w just ain't gonna cut it. i'd be wanting atleast 10-12 if not closer to 15.
