    Are the LED's dual intensity and function as the brake lights as well as tail or is there a separate brake light?

    Correct. They are dual intensity.
    dim for running lights
    Bright for brake

    Sorry for another question, these don't have the appearance of being tinted do they? Just the reduced contrast since the internal housing is blacked? Are the reflectors still functional or painted over? The photos look like they are very close to stock but the photo of the stock and converted unit side by side makes the converted unit look quite a bit darker but perhaps just the lighting?

    No worry.
    As far as the tinting is concerned: The factory OUTER lens is NOT tinted in anyway. With the inside housing now black(instead of chrome) it gives the appearance of being darker. This is the correct way to do it, as you are not altering the light transparency through the OEM outside lens.
    Reflectors are still functional, but heavily tinted. Not painted over.

    Since "technically" these aren't DOT, EPA, CARB, whatever approved... I suggest the buyer use them for "off-road use only";)

    The outside is smoked is the only real difference. A bit more contrast against the red.

    Just the led part that is mainly interesting the rest meh. It would look would look pretty good in the bros. I am not a fan of the storm trooper look but many folks are. Nice work either way. Looking forward to seeing what factory led tails look like if toyota ever gets around to it.
