brighter mirror bulbs?

I have an 07 with the factory chrome, telescoping mirrors. Has anyone tried putting in different bulbs to make the parking, clearance lights brighter??

I would stick to factory rated bulbs. Brighter bulbs equal higher amperage draw, which can lead to fuse popping or other issues.

they are led bulbs. you could probably add like 1000 more and it wouldn't mak a real difference. oh, and no unless you take them apart and sldier in different led's and find a way to get more power to them, i dont think it can be done.
