Anyone else think that they are too fcuking bright? At night your squinting when they are on red and then you get blinded when they go green!

LED brake lights are my big hate, excessively bright. Being stuck behind a car at traffic lights with someone who keeps their foot on the brake the whole time their car is stopped. It seems to be a combination of laziness and vehicles fitted with electronic parking brake driven by people who don't know how to use them.

I think a lot of the problem with LED brake lights is with the driver keeping their foot on the brake. I have to admit though that I did have after market LED brake lights on a previous car and would keep my foot on the brake if the driver behind pissed me off! :shock:

A switch that activates the reversing lights sure gets tailgaters off your bumper quick! :)

According to EU research motorists are more likely to obey traffic light is the they up the output on LED traffic lights therefore make them safer.

LED brake lights are rubbish. 50% of the time I can see them strobe out the corner of my eye, Volvos are really bad for it.

I hate those strobing rear car lights, they drive me mad, I find them really distracting! I also find that LED traffic lights are too bright, far, far too bright!
