I can't say honestly, I have never been behind my own car while it's moving. I think they are plenty bright. There are brighter options with more LED's if you are worried about brightness. I will also say that if I thought in any way that these were unsafe or illegal I would not be using them.

When you did your interior lighting, did you order your LED's from Diode Dynamics as well?
If so, did you order them through this bundle package and are they straighforward to install? http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/i.../#!prettyPhoto I'm curious since I've seen other bundle packages that are somewhat more expensive and I'm wondering why the differentiation. Thanks! Last edited by Cjymiller; 03-01-2013 at 03:41 AM. |

I haven't seen any LED comparisons between other LEDS and these - just the diode's own comparisons between their own stage 1 2 3's. |

I did order all my bulbs from DiodeDynamics.com but at the time the only bulbs listed for the BRZ as a bundle were the front and rear turn signals, I had to individually chose/guess at which ones to buy.
In my pictures, this is what I have installed: Dome Light - 6-SMD LED Board (Probably Stage 1) Door/Courtesy Foot Lights - 194 5-SMD Bulbs (Stage 3 I Think) Trunk Light - 194 9-SMD Bulb (Not Sure Stage 3+?) I had some trouble with installation, the 5-SMD bulbs are almost too big for any application on the BRZ. I was unable to use them for the tag lights as I had intended because the housing/bubble was too shallow. I did force them into the door housings and broke one of the dots on the bulbs. I think the 5-SMD would be perfect for the trunk if you want to keep the cover/diffuser on it, I didn't have enough 5's so I put a 9-SMD one in there but the cover will not fit. I plan on fixing mine soon. I would recommend 2-SMD bulbs for the door lights and tag lights for fitment reasons. They are on back order so I was considering 1-SMD ones also. |

Did you end up with any orange peel on your tails? Did you wet sand and buff/polish?
Curious because I used the same paint and clear, but since it was pretty cold outside i ended up with slight orange peel. |

I used two weatherproof RGB Multicolor strips from Diode Dynamics.
http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/i...f/category/33/ I also finally got the tag bulbs installed completing my full LED/HID conversion. Now I just need to install the angel eyes but I have been dreading having to remove the bumper and opening the headlamps. The products from Diode Dynamics have been great and the employees are very helpful! |

Noob question: Did you have trouble replacing the bulb for the front turn signals? Also did you have to take the front lights apart to take out the bulb? Any help is appreciated. thanks |
