Ron:

I have installed halogen bulbs in the "red" section of my rear lights
- brake and tail elements - and they are incredibly bright. the first
time  out I was followed home after dark by a friend, who came right
up my drive to tell me my brake lights were stuck on!

Then I put my brakes on with him watching and he was dazzled.
I'm not sure this is a good thing, but I haven't changed the bulbs back.

These new halogen, and now LED replacements for standard bulbs, are
incredibly bright. Perhaps you have a better solution.

Dave
