Just a quick question...for those that have the LED brake lights installed, are you using the red LEDs or the hyper whites?

I want the hyper whites, however I don't want my brake lights to look pink. Any opinions on which is better suited to provide a a bright, red light?

One more question: Has anyone used the inverted LEDs? How does it compare to the regular forward facing LEDs? If it'd look right, I may use them for my parking lights and side markers.

you want red brake lights

led or not

you are gonna want red

Arcane

what difference would there be getting red LEDs instead of the white LEDs? Would the red brake light lenses make them look the same? Or would the white LEDs make the brake lights look pink?

Also, any opinions on the inverted LEDs?

I installed hyperwhite 9-led bulbs as brake lights but they dont seem to shine as brightly as the original bulb. I might try a set of 9-led red bulbs.

cool...i'll get the red ones too then.

I installed the 9bulb Red LED's and took them back out. They looked cool at night, but we not even close to bright enough to be seen in the daylight...........i didn't think they were safe

any pixs
bulbs i want are the stealth front and rear chrome ones.

I thought the stealth WAS the chrome? Anyway, what I've been calling stealth / chrome turn signals are pretty dim, but I think they get the job done. There are pictures on the forum somewhere... don't remember where, though.

OK - I'm going to have to show my stupidity, I guess--

I'm trying to take the trunk lid inner trim off to get to the 3rd brake light. The unscrew/pop out retainers were a breeze. But what's the trick to the trunk pull-down handle (under the trunk lid- right side - recessed into the trim)? I don't see any retainers, and a gentle pull won't get it loose. I don't want to start prying hard for fear of ruining the trim.

So, is there a led bulb that is bright enough for the tailightg to be seen during the daytime too? And what about the rear running lights?

thanks....
