Let us know how they work at night when you hit the brake lights. I first tried some that were the same design as the ones you installed but at night the running lights were so bright when I hit the brakes there wasn't a lot of difference. I don't remember who made them but I wanted to make sure you could tell I was braking.

I remember the first time a saw a Dodge Charger police car at night. We passed going in opposite directions. I naturally took a quick peek in my mirror and thought his brake lights were on. Nope, that big old tail light was that bright.

Brake lights are considerably brighter than running lights. I’m not sure they’re a ton brighter than stock. The only way to truly know is to leave one side stock and the other LED for a side by side comparison. Not sure I want to know badly enough to swap one side out and then back again.

That's how I verify trailer lights are working also. Headlights on, hazards on, walk around. No need to test brake lights and turn signals, as they're all the same. I don't necessarily trust the dash readout telling me trailer lights are good.
