Has anyboy ever used an APC or similar LED tailight bulb replacement? Is it brighter? Does it look cool?

Yes, mine are definately brighter, and they do look pretty cool from behind.

They are definately harder to see I think, the brake lights don't light up very much at all. I've got the new matrix brake lights with about 25 leds per bulb. People tell me they can hardly tell the difference between my brake lights and my park lights. The 3rd brake light is VERY bright though.

hmmm, that sucks, i thought they'd be really good. i have cheap apc ones, and they are way brighter... just nothing shining into the lense, straight forward.

right now i just have them in the center tails, and everyone says it looks like snake eyes, i want a wider beam, but i guess they wont be as bright.

oh well, wont have the car much longer anyway.

the matrix ones aren't worth the extra money. I guess there are about 19 leds that face to the rear versus 15 on my cheapy bulbs. I was really hoping that the leds that are supposed to shine in the reflector would only light when the brakes were applied, haven't been able to find those anywhere though.

Dig. cam's can't capture LED lights that well. You sorta have to trust someone with them

What did you install in the 3rd brake light? I'd like to get mine to light up like that.
