Everytime I unlock the car with friends behind it heading to the passenger seat they arc back and always say "g'damn thats bright!"

Haha whenever I lock the car and then go to the trunk to get something, I end up blinding myself opening and closing the trunk door. I should get stuff out of the trunk first and then lock it but I never learn.

The first night I had the car I hit the unlock button as I walked up behind it and HOLY HELL that was bright. Which is good because I have no worries about how dark I tinted them. They're still plenty bright.

they dont seem to keep people from running into many on here, this takes care of the extra bright lights

All the kits I've seen installed are almost too dark for my taste. Anyone know if there is a kit that is just BARELY lighter than this? I basically want light tint with added protection for rock chips etc for the front.

nevermind, they actually offer a "light tint" option!

With the sequential brake lights, I love looking in my rear view and watching peoples faces go from bright red, to brighter red, to brightest red! Lol, sometimes I'll do this a few times for fun.
LOL I love watching people's faces light up at night when I'm in line at a drive-thru :D

Yea come to think of it they are pretty bright. I just see people's face bright red in the rear view mirror.

they are definitely too bright. I typically let off the brake and stop lights (at night) just so I don't have to rape the eyes of the people behind me.
+1 for the manuals. I mean, uh, putting in park is cool too.

They are bright, and I feel bad for people behind me. We're also not the only cars with annoying brake lights - ever been behind a newish Audi or Cadillac?

The brake lights really are blinding. No issues with headlights being flashed though. My 15 MDX on the other hand I'd say 50% of people flash me thinking my brights are on.

Got flashed all the time with my '14 with regular headlights on. Eventually started flashing people back. Most of the newer cars headlights are really bright. People will eventually get used to it I guess.

50% of people eh? That's quite the light show on the opposite side of the road at night.

Headlights in Europe are allowed to be even brighter than they are here. DOT regs limits the brightness of headlights in the US.
