Thanks for the kind words. I am very happy with how they turned out.
Now I just have to sand and paint over the OEM 3rd brake light white.

Thanks! Gave them a good test once it got dark out. There should be absolutely no reason someone does not see this thing stopping.
It lights up street signs a block away. Probably would have been farther but thats where the street ended.

I looked up the data sheet on these, and each bulb puts out 5lm at 60-70mA
I run them at 60mA, I am bad at math, and even more horrible at calculating things, would that mean the tails put out 1200lm?

1200Lm of redness. That's a car headlight, but red. Kinda ridiculous really.

Only a little ridiculous.

When They were first fired up I told Chelsea to take her foot off the brake, and she said "my foot is not on the brake" and then she applied the brakes.

Thanks dude! Random and even more nerd side of me. at 30 seconds in the video if you watch around the street light I happen to capture a meteorite on film.
Was not expecting that. BONUS!

It's always hard to capture the true level of sound and brightness of lights in a video. The reflections in the street signs halfway down the street are a good indicator though.

Chelsea wants me to change all the gauge lights, and door switch and hvac lights to purple. So I will be tackling that at some point this summer. I think it will look good.

I am also going to be plasti-dipping the wheels black, and painting the black mesh insert on the grill white.
