    I bought some clear tail light lenses and tinted them. Because of the tint i upgraded that bulbs to LEDS. I like how bright they are BUT the light doesnt fill the entire area, just a large circle. I found that during the day time, that amount of light barely seemed bright enough. SO i made the top and bottom sections light up with the brakes, and the middle the turn signal. Of course it doesnt leave a reverse light, but im going to add them near the license plate. the running lights still come on the bottom section, but at night they are plenty bright, and i wont be using them during the day. Here's a crappy video, i just threw on some random clothes after work and recorded it with my phone. The light output is alot better and evenly spread than what the video shows. Of course this mod wont really work with stock lenses. Let me know what you think.
