the light smoke on the GE looks pretty hott... i need to take my LED tails off and make the signal portion a little darker

 

I did not know that, here in Calgary about 10% of the vehicles on the roads have a burned out brake light, too often I see only a third brake light working. At least these are my experiences. I avoid being behind these drivers, or beside them as it is a risk.

I have lived all over the world and the drivers here are as bad as any, if not worse. Use safe following distances behind a vehicle and you are asking to be cut off in traffic. Any more than a Smart car length and they will try the squeeze. Now when it snows and gets icy this is a hoot to watch.
Frankly if I could have brighter and better brake lights I would, MB now has flashing rear brake lights in Europe and now the USA. When stopping they save anywhere from 6-40 plus extra feet of reaction time for the vehicle following. All about reaction time. We in NA are really in the dark ages as far as lighting and safety go with vehicles.

Get behind a new Cadillac in the evening, watch him brake and it is almost overwhelming the light volume coming off the rear. Maybe GM has something to fall back on light technology wise?

Thanks for the heads up on the rear end collision legalities. Good to know.

 

Thats exactly how I want mine to look. What product and procedure did you use?

 

Well that az. not sure about the rest of NA.

 

see that looks amazing

 

I used 3 coats of Leyland light smoke transparent. Allow to dry between coat. After about 2 days use T-Cut to polish them in and make them slightly lighter if needed.

Can see more pics
