brake lights not bright.

I've had this problem where my driving lights are really bright but my brake lights are only slightly brighter. Any ideas? I just would prefer brake light be bright and my driving not so.

You might have incorrect bulbs installed.

Most brake lights are too bright anyway.

They are visible in sunlight therefore if the D.O.T. was intelligent enuff, would require them to dim at night.


Happy Racing!

Re: brake lights not bright.

Thanks for nobody mentioning that you could put the bulbs in backwards. I flipped them around and now they work properly.
