Default 194 bulbs are inadequate for use as a turn signal...

They are OK as a city light, but not nearly enough wattage for turn signal use in the RS2 housing. I think if you want adequate lighting, a larger dual filament bulb is a must.

Default agreed...when I first got my RS2s I had the 194 amber as a blinker, and people I knew would tell me

that my blinkers were hardly visible in daylight

So, do you use the stock turn signal bulbs?

Default well, this may sound complicated, but....

i have a euro bumper to go on the car, so I didn't want to change/modify the RS2 housing, so I took the glass off the housing, put in an 1156 amber LED (actually has like 18 LEDs) and made a special temporary harness to hold it in place. I had to take the glass off because the bulbs largest diameter is too large to fit through the 194 socket.
