WHY do some of you want to smoke (darken) the tail lights on a car?
Dang, back in the day we had these dinky little 6 Volt taillights, that could hardly be seen. Then, we went with bigger, brighter and more tail/stop lights that were more visible, thus safer.
Now, some want to go back to less visible tail/stop lights.
WHY?
OK, smokem up, but don't bitch when some old man, on a rainy night, with bad eyesight, and next to no night vision and trying to remember why he is going to where he is going - slams into the back of your car cause he didn't see it.

my current prevailing theory is a sort of reverse darwinism.
every time i see a set, my internal monologue of the cars say "i'm so cool and have so much extra money and time, i can afford to risk getting involved in an accident that will consume massive amounts of all of those resources, and it won't matter"
i on the other hand are short on money, time, and hate dealing with the general public only slightly less than i hate dealing with insurance agencies, so i keep my brake lights as bright as possible to avoid such a scenario.
