So … having had a few runs out with these bulbs I’m now of the opinion they are too bright as tail lights ( theyre brake light bright ) and the difference between tail light and brake light isn’t big enough .

I’m going to keep them in for a while longer and do some trips with others following me and see what they say.

Anyone know of led bulbs that are maybe less bright as a tail light but much brighter as a brake ?

i have these on Jaffa 911 James- complete LED boards not bulbs, really excellent IMO - and clearly different/brighter for braking.
Can be round or square pattern- expensive but good IMO.
I also have them on 914

In contrast to that, we had a cracking day at Prescott hillclimb, 2nd in class on both runs in the dry, just 1.5 secs behind a mighty Norma M20 with a turbo 3 litre Honda Vtec, a fabulous car.

Monsoon rain exactly as the meeting finished....
