Only like 6? or something LED's in the center light up.

yea, its pretty ghetto. Thats why a few companies sell "Full third brake lights."

It's easy to install and it's plenty bright.

And here is what it looks like when it isn't lit up. Obviously I have the red one.

^^how long has yours lasted, I have read some have burned out pretty quick but I know they have a pretty good return policy for them.

As you've read, the stock tail light only has the middle 6 inches light up. The remaining is a reflector.

I have the oznium TBL. Had the first one for about a year before three of the LED's burned out. It was either the harsh winters we have had lately in Chicago or due to rushed repair work done on the hatch by a local body shop.

Called Oz and got a replacement had it in 2-3 days, been perfect since

The Oz TBL is really bright and doesn't lag or flicker when you brake. Its a great product.
