I still use the standard 6v bulb in mine. When I got the car the housing was painted black so you can imagine how useless the illumination was. Recently I took them out and painted them silver. Over the top of that I sprayed some of that "chrome" styled paint in a rattle can. I was amazed at the difference in brightness. It looks like a 12v setup now. PerHaps I should try some LEDs for a greater effect.
