I currently have some chrome amber bulb in my accents and it doesn't light up real bright at all. It's barely noticeable. So now I'm thinking of switching over to LED. Anyone running amber accent lights? I want to see some pics and give me some info on the brand and where I can buy it.

I have bought MANY LEDs for the car over the past year, and I have to say that a good 50 - 60 % have started flickering and breaking
 Even a few of my 'expensive' ones have Anyway, my real question is, how hot does it get inside the accent light when the Low beam is turned on? On the ADM lights, the Park lights are located within the same unit as the Low Beam lgiht, and as a result there is A LOT of heat, enough to actually cause my LEDs to catch fire (I switched over the blue tinted bulbs after this). Will the heat in the accent light be comparable? If not, I will consider some good quality LEDs for them since I don't want to be removing my bumper unnecessarily to change blown LEDs... --------------------  ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |
