Tail light tints
I had my tail tail lights tinted with the Oracle film. But now i am concerned they are too dark. Do you think if i put in brighter bulbs that would help? I see red led lights. Would thise be better

Re: Tail light tints
Are the bulbs hard to replace?
Re: Tail light tints
It's the easiest thing to change. Pull out the trunk lining behind the bulb, unscrew the 2 nuts, they are torqued really light so youcan do it by hand. Disconnect the harness, pull out the rubber seal and boom you can swap. I don't have mine tinted so i wouldn't know if brighter bulbs help. Also if you switch to LED's, you might need a current stabilizer or something like that.

Re: Tail light tints
LEDs have a much lower resistance than incandescents. You will basically need an inline resistor to equal the factory resistance if you have problems. For reference, most LEDs run (at least indicator LEDs on an IC) run around 200-800mA. Any incandescent requires higher power, which is Power(or Wattage, wattage is power)=I^2R. Test it out, you might not have any problems. If you do, there will be guides on how to fix it.
