Light bulbs...

So I want to get my tail lights (brake lights) brighter (partially because my tails were smoked too dark) and I wanted to see if anyone had recommendations or suggestions on brighter bulbs...

*i searched the forum already. No luck...

the brake lights on the TL is a combination of LEDs on a board. It's not like most cars that use 1 or 2 BULBs per side. You can't simply unplug the LED and install brighter LEDs. Your best bet is to remove the tint from your tails

Just because they are LED, or on a board, doesn't mean they can't be made to be brighter.

But the simple fact you had to ask means it's outside of your skill level.
