And now we watch trailing cars slam into you because they didn't see you're brake lights and weren't paying enough attention to see you slowing down.

I've seen this happen at least twice to people with smoked lenses. Just be careful. Or get far more intense lights in the back.

i wonder if they have different shades (35, 20 and so on), and about the bulbs, they do make very bright ones, but cost about 7 bucks a pair. A good investment in my opinion, even with stock tail lights.

Until the brighter bulbs, which draw much more current, start blowing fuses. Or if they don't blow the fuses, the brighter bulbs, which are hotter, melt your lenses and reflectors.

The Tacoma taillights fit the Tercel?
