Tell me about it!! I've been nearly rear-ended a number of times,
because of this. However, I did find a solution. Dave Bean Engineering
sells (or at least used to sell) two element Halogen tail light bulbs.
These makes a huge difference.
These bulbs do have one disadvantage, though. They get much hotter than
standard bulbs do. Fortunately the tail lights on Cobras (and Aces with
the same lights) are not enclosed, so this isn't a problem.

Original Cobras, by far.
