The front turn signals, John@Motorcepts sells them. His are noticeably brighter than the stocks.
Also, not to poop on your particular finding, but I ordered the similar bulb you did for the brake lights, and I thought that it didn't look as bright. It was lighter in color to me, and I went back to the stock bulbs.

Mine are at least as bright as the OEM, my friends actually complain about the brightness with these, they did not do that with the stock bulbs
I did get red bulbs to avoid them being lighter in color so that might be an option.
There are many sellers out there, all of them are selling the best according to themselves, that is why i included what bulbs i got and from who in my posts.
As for the front turn signals i have two different sets on order, if they are below par then i will ask john to set me up.
I also got LED side markers from a vendor here, they are alot less bright then OEM so that was a bit of a letdown, but im sure brighter ones will appear sooner or later

In any case, good luck with the turn signals

Im sure that the white ones are even brighter, but i was advised against it since they would appear to pinkish in color
I will update as the bulbs arrive

i did install white 27 SMD, pinkish indeed, but the brightness was much lower than the original bulb, so i removed it... safety first
i checked the ones you installed (on your photo) and the only visible difference with the ones i have is that yours have 3 "reflects" (not sure how they are called exactly - the tiny spots that light up) per diode. the number of diodes (27 pcs) is the same.
could you post a daylight image please?
about the turn signal in the headlights... i haven't found any brighter than the original bulb yet, but did install nice amber leds in the side blinks with 6 diodes each.
