I have the same problem with mine, and I don't even have a 3rd brake light anymore lol.

Just grab the led bulbs off Ebay. It wont have the glow effect of the factory bulbs, but for the folks behind you, they'll be able to see them fine.

I too would want to see some pics of some LED bulbs in the rear.

I've been planning on ondering some reverse bulbs, but not the actual brake lights.

Maybe your tails are too dark. That's not very safe.

 

[lowone06]

no its not safe at all

For your tail lights make sure you use red leds. Leds only produce light in a very narrow spectrum. A white light led has very little red spectrum light so if you put it behind a red filter (red lens) it will appear very dim as most of the light produced is white and there for filtered out by the lens. Found this out by messing around with my third brake light and did some reading.

so the red leds will be brighter than white now would it make a diff that my taillights are painted on the inside

Which side the paint is on does not matter, but I have not tried different bulbs in tinted housings yet. The red leds will appear brighter because the red lense will filter less light out.

Why did you paint the lenses on the inside?
No wonder why they are so dark!
