GW: Tail-light Bulbs?

Are there replacement bulbs that brighter than the original? Not the LED solution though.

if one was to change to leds for all the marker and blinker/brakes how does that affect the blinker relay?

seems to me a resistance change would cause funkyness

I already had an electronic flasher (works better towing), the LED bulbs in the taillights work fine - however the front turnsignal/parking lights did NOT work with LED's - it is the way they are wire to the front makers
