Ive been thinking, what can be done with the running lights on the car?

You know the ones in the front left and right corners...

I was thinking of putting brighter bulbs or those small halogen bulbs in them.

But then isn't heat a problem?

You could smoke the lenses and put in brighter bulbs, as longs as you don't go to bright I don't think heat would be a problem.

just get some brighter bulbs. DO NOT put halogens in there, they will melt the housing....

Superwhites??!?!?! Arent they very very hot?

Also what does smoking mean?

And are halogens those 12v ones you find in houses 'n that?

nope, they burn differently and radiate little heat... very very well constructed technology! :)
