Taillight bulb question
I have recently used the tinting spray for my taillights...the see thru plastic black out kit looked tacky....
But even before I did the spray I realized my lights were not as bright....now before you say DUH!!!
I am wondering if anyone has replaced there bulbs with after market bulbs..or LED..to make your lights brighter with the black out kit or tinting spray....
Please pass on the brand of bulb or store you bought them at..I wasted money on ebay for a cheap brand and they were actually dimmer than my stock 3057 bulbs...

It really doesn't matter. If someone rearends you & you have tinted brake lights you are out of compliance. ANY alteration of brake/tail lights is against the law. Most if not all manufacturers state "for display only". I don't know if the black cherry LED's are legal or not.
