I do sort of agree with you, but when those bright LED tail lights hit the brakes, you know there on the brakes. I'm worried that the stock tail lights just are not bright enough, I would rather have someone a 1/2 a mile away know I'm on the brakes than get hit. I think the stock tail lights are ok at night but during the day not so much. That and the tail lights are kind of low compared to the newer cars. There are way to many distractions for all the knuckle heads out there these days, I want there attention when I'm braking.

I like the idea of painting the inside area white.

I'm familiar with the 2057 bulbs, but was under the impression that they generated a lot of heat and might damage the lens.


I'm also going to switch the interior lights to LED in the rear arm rests, the convertible arm rests have that little cover that discolors from the heat of the bulb, putting an LED in there might work perfect.

Thanks, for the input guys.
