Well glad to see you had good results. But not sure the turnsignals are as you say better due to the bulbs you wrongly put in. Versous the correct ones. Most likely it is just a optical illusion due to the Silverstar color change in light. As the Bulb design Tech Data will tend to disprove that if you had just put in the plain correct bulbs. Here is why.

1157 Wrong bulb you put in thou has the same base as the old one.

27watt/8watt
402lumins/38lumins light output at 12.8volts

2357 Correct one you took out and did not put back

28watt/8watt
503lumins/38lumins light output at 12.8volts
