    So I tinted my tails, and now I want some brighter tail light (mainly brake light bulbs) for a added peace of mind cause they are alil darker then I wanted (for light reasons). So has anyone found brighter replacement tail light bulbs? If not then I guess Ill try and sand them down alil to try and get them alil lighter. :D

    Actually you failed by tinting your tails, now you have lost brightness in brake lights. You can't have it both ways dude... Maybe try some LED bulbs that fit into the factory socket

    I was aware of it not being as bright before I tinted them.. :) The light still shines through just fine. A little less then before but thats just like everyone who tints there tails. All I want now is a little brighter bulb to bring it back up to were stock was. ;)
