    I buy 3/4” ebay lights 100 for like 40$ so far over a year all work great and bright. China brand
    My brother gets identical lights for like 5$. A piece at the dealer with life time warranty but I can’t justify 5$ a light

    Mine are bright too dark parking lot I can drive without headlights

    Thank you did you wire them a certain way? I have read that if you take a 4inch tail light and you can wire it like if you were pushing the brakes to stay brighter is that true?

    To answer your 1st question. I have the 3/4” lights wired up every 3 together. Depending on if one goes out or all 3 I’ll know if it’s the light or the wiring that went bad.

    And 2
    Yeah I have 4 4”led. On my cat walk on the cab lights and they are brake lights wired up as if the brakes are always applied. Pretty bright.

    There's 3 wires on a 4" light, ground, running lights and brake/turn lights. Just hook your power wire to the brake/turn wire and they will always be on bright.

    Thank you
    I’m never getting rid of this thing. If I ever retire it it’ll be a toy hauler.

    Sure. You don't have to look at them. Be obnoxious.
