well what do you want from them? all those coated hyper bulbs will be very dim.racinglab also has the raybrig 7440 clear bulbs that are 2x brigher than stock. I have em in my reverse lights and wow they're nice. Not hyper white, but they are brighter than stock making them also appear whiter.

yea its not a trick. they really are brighter than stock without using more wattage. i also used one for the front dome light so it matches the one in the rear that comes brighter stock (8v instead of 5).

it depends on what you want it guess. Leds are nice but the viewing angle on leds is lower then halogens. So your light won't luminate the same area. If you want hyper white turn signals i suggest you just go with the blue cloated or white leds.
If you want more light, then i suggest just staying stock or going with the clear cloat bulbs.
Here's mine with the clear cloat bulbs. I think the hyper white signals are too ricey for me.

its 55watts. Make sure the bulbs actually say they need 90w and not just output light like a 90watt bulb. If they actually require 90w then it'll fry your stock harness. You can make a wiring harness, but it'll probably just be cheaper just to buy xenon bulbs that are 55w.

thats just appearance. they won't actaully be brighter. stock clear bulb will put out the most light compared to coated (white looking) bulb.

the 01-03 were h4's and the 04-05 are 9006. I think the wattage is the same. You want more brightness or more light? You will lose light if you go outside of stock, but it will seem like you have more because white is brighter then yellow.
Just in rain, white light sux because it gets reflected back. Honestly any bulb with the blue coat will give you white light. There's almost no difference between $20 walmart bulbs and $70 PIAA bulbs.
