That looks good.

How's the brake light output from a distance? That's my only concern with doing something similar to my taillights.

I like the look. A pic of brake lights illuminated would be helpful...

Having been rear-ended a number of times with regular brake-lights, that's the last thing I'd feel comfortable with no matter how I felt about the looks.

I agree, it looks very cool.....but not going to reduce the break notification for others.

I like the outline, but I would make both show the full lines of the taillight. Hiding the 3D part was a nice idea..

Did you paint or wrap the lights? Looks great assuming there is still plenty of light output.

"In honor of jpee"

it's all good looking both mods and design

.

altho I do understand the concern of taillights. (here, for driver skill level and car's ability to stop, we follow too close, and go too fast for conditions.).
