    so i went ahead and tinted my tail lights today. will take pictures tmrw or sometime later.

    anyways i did a bit of overkill on the vht. atleast so i think since i cannot see the driving lights during the day and even the brake lights are tough to see. at night its fine, of course but does anyone know if theres a bulb brighter than the recommended stock one? the sh*t needs to be a tad brighter.

    i knows theres a reverse light on zzp or somethen but im looking for the regular brake light. thanks

    if the bulbs are meant to be plug and play they are matched to the load necessary to make them flash at the right pace. if not, soldering a resistor inline with the power is fairly simple.

    did 4 coats only cuz i f*ckered up and had to even out the vht. i could still see some of the reflector so i went ahead and gave it another coat. is there a writeup for this hyperflash talk? kinda was hoping there would be some brighter bulb i could just throw.

    Yea man I did mine abit to much but then I went and got silver star 3157s and they are alot better, and i know they call for 3057 but a 3157 is a higher watt, then it gets even higher with the silver stars.Plus you can get them at any parts store, that way you can keep the cops off your A$$. before i did that the MF's pulled me over. lol

    i wanted to get some of the led lights but i heard, you need a resistor or some sh!t. so that was the fastest way to fix my prob. Do you know if they make stuff like the night shade in diff colors??
