Default Bat's Overlay With Helix Smoked Taillights

I bought the Helix taillights and was over all happy with them. The only problem was that the break light was not bright enough. I took care of the problem by buying Bat's Redout Overlay.
Here are the taillights that I bought

Here is the idea I was going for, but they don't sell it in smoked

This is the overlay I bought from Bat

And here are pics of the over all product



Here are daytime pics

The red & clear shouldnt have any issues, the problem with the smoke was getting a bright enought red. You should be fine with the red & clear.

Without the overlay you have to use a Red bulb. and over time the bulb fades to pink. and If you use a bulb cover it falls off. so If you just have a reg bulb and overlay it makes it a bright Red

Oh, I see.

I have a friend who has these and we tried LED bulds, but he still got pulled over because you could barely see then brake lights, let alone the driving lights.

You would think LEDS would be much brighter than a regular 7440 bulb.
