So maybe I got a bit thorough on the tail light 'fix'

While on our road trip to FL this year, I was getting the ill-timed 'check brake lights' errors. I came home, picked up some bulbs and that was that. Until a few weeks ago when the error surfaced again. I ignored it. Like so many little things, it's not that big of a deal. In fact, it may not even be *real* knowing how these things throw the errors around like candy.

But the other day, 'check rear lights' was added to the mix. Well dagnabbit. THAT set of gongs started to get annoying, so I looked at some LEDs... Not bad. I mean. They light. They're brighter when the brakes are applied, but much like the non-OE incandescent units, it just doesn't look OE to me. What can I say, it's a preference thing.

So today, just to keep any surprises down to zero, I ordered the set. Left and right OE tails, 4 of one socket, and 2 of another. ECS had the best price on the total and shipping was only $13. I'll update the thread when I rec and install.

Dagnabbit #2- I forgot to get all new bulbs.
