I'll try and take some pictures tomorrow with the brake lights on, both during the day and at night. My initial impression of this smoked Depo unit is that it is very bright, and at least comparable in output to the factory setup. Installed it yesterday afternoon and took a drive last night to a shopping center that was closed. Backed my car up to one of the stores so I could see the brake lights in the reflection of the glass. The third brake light seemed similar in brightness to the LED tail lights, which are also Depo brand. Today I had my daughter step on the brakes to see how it looked in sunshine, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed. I was originally worried that the smoked lens might appear dimmer than the OEM unit, but that is not the case at all. It lights up bright red, not pink, and the quality is very good. Took me a couple of hours to install, but I could probably do it in half that now knowing all the little tricks.

Nice. My next project is definitely going to be led for all three lights.
Also can you run a led reverse lights in that without throwing a code?

I wish it was "more smoked".... darker.... Wondering if it would look as good on my black car as it does in your gray one.
