    if you tinted your tails and there really dark in the day time cant you just buy brighter bulbs so you can see them better in the day time?

    the 3157s are what you need from v-leds. take a look at the LED guide.

    Look into a set of 3457 bulbs. They are a little brighter.

    I have these in the mail, hoping they help cuz you can't see sh*t in the day time with my tinted tails. I have seen both 3157, and 3057 (from the sylvannia guide), these have both numbers, so Im pretty sure they'll fit.

    My brother has LED brake lights... They don't do a real good job. Let me explain. A bulb spreads light all around, the LED bulb he has only concentrates the red where the LED's are placed. So they look like dots. I don't know if all of them are like this but the one my brother has only show dots and don't light up the whole assembly.

    i just got some 3057 leds and tried them out only to find out they dont light up the tail light like the standard 3057 bulb does. with tinted tails (mine atleast, dark as hell) so i did a bit of research and the 3057/3157 put out the same candlelight (402 i think). only difference between the two are the low dim, not brake. the 3357/3457 are same candlelight (502 i think) so like 20% brighter. i threw some 3357s in and they work alot better. not the brightest but how bright can u really get with tinted tails

    Can you see a difference between the 2? (the 3057/3157 to the 3357)
    I too bought some LED's from AutoZone for $hits and giggles, but found them to not do squat. Was actually worse. Just looking for a little brighter than in there now. Thank goodness for third brake lights!

    id go with the 3357na. its the white bulb. the amber ones didnt put out the same during the day. and yeah imo leds arnt worth it. they last longer but f*ck if you can even see them light up the tail light.
