LEDs vs stock brake lights
« on: June 17, 2016 - 03:49:39 PM »
Just wanted to post this picture of my LED taillights compared to stock taillights.  I was finally able to compare them on the power tour.  I wanted to upgrade so I didn't get rear ended.  If you are going to be driving your car, upgrade the brake lights!!

Looks great, much brighter!  :2thumbs:  I also have LED's in my Challenger. I always found the stock bulbs dim especially in sunlight.

This is what I did several years ago.

They made a substantial difference and I will likely keep them the same when the car goes back together. I am also heavily considering a 3x Blink then solid LED near the license plate, to further help people pay attention.
