    Holy bejeebers now !
    its nice having nice bright tailights and brakelights but (insert swear words here) the new LED tail / brakelights are unsafe in traffic , hazardous to peoples retinas and annoying
    If a Toyota is stopped in the right lane and someone goes to pass the brakelights will blind the passing driver who is now temporarily blinded and could hit and kill the owner of the britelite Toyota if they are out of the vehicle, a pedestrin crossing, an animal etc etc.
    Also, sitting behind these new super mega bright tailights will litterally burn a hole in a humans retina, this is no joke, I see a huge lawsuit looming mrYota
    I also have a macular hole from a lifetime of working on construction sites where there was a lot of welding going on, my retina is hanging by a thread and I really do not appreciate the added risk aused by these redick-you-lus tailights !!!!!
    If I am stopped at a traffic light behind these and the driver is on the brakes I litterally have to sheild my eyes to avoid being blinded
    HOW MUCH BRIGHTER ARE YOU sob's GONNA TURN THEM UP !!!!!!
    DAMN !!!!
    DAMN !!!!

    sounds like a belief biased remark
    LOGIC :
    if you cannot see what is around the braking (or stopped) vehicle , then the brake lights are too bright which is a safety issue.
    I warn anyone standing in the road next to one of these at night to use extreme caution (policemen, fire rescue, tow drivers, dates kissing goodnite)

    I can't see what you're talking about. Is there an MS paint rendition to better illustrate this?

    I have factory LEDs on my truck. They've been around for a while.

    Halogens are less expensive, that's why you paid less for your '16 ;)
