Hi List

Here in good ol' SA there was (and still is) a craze whereby car owners have
rigged up brighter bulbs which they use in place of, or together with, their
normal tails. Problem is that normal brake light bulbs are used (21watt).
The red glare from these super bright Christmas trees on a normal evening is
annoying and can be downright dangerous because cars with dimmer tails are
sometimes obscured in the adjacent lanes and cannot be seen.

I would therefore advise caution in selecting the brightness of bulb used
for brightening up the rear tails. (Frankly, I only ever thought that 5watt
and 21watt bulbs were available).
