During the last Malibu run, it was brought to my attention the my brake lights are not bright. The gentleman who told me this mentioned a user who makes LED tail light kits. can someone please point me in his direction?

Thanks,

Been thinking about these more and more, if only for the brake lights.

Have to admit I like the incandescent glow of the original parking lights—but having been rear-ended once, the LED brake boards are something I just need to do.

Jerry's kits are definitely the premium way to go but you can get LED replacement bulbs through Super Bright LEDs . They won't be as bright as Jerry's kits but way brighter than incandescent. You can even get them in warm white where you want that nostalgic glow.

FYI, I put red LEDs in the rear side markers of my euro lenses so now the side markers look euro amber when they are off, but DOT legal US red when they are on.
