Default Feint Lighting Tail Lights tC

Hello.
I recently bought a set of Feint Lighting LED taillights for my tC.
They are awesome and top notch quality, however.. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a question I have?

When you're driving during the day.. everything is fine, the lights come on no problem.

When you're driving at night.. the normal brake lights come on as a running light.. but when you press on the brakes.. they dont become brighter.. they in fact seem to get dimmer because the 3rd brake light is coming on..

I was wondering if there was any way to remedy this problem? My biggest concern is putting my brakes on and the person behind me doesnt realize I am, and slams into the back of me... any info would be GREATLY apprieciated!!

Thank you.

I would have to say it is either an install issue or they really arent "top notch quality", which usually infers that they work

I would get in touch with them soon, since you are illegal without properly working brake lights

If it is indeed the problem Neothin had, it is remediable, and shouldn't stop you from getting them. I am eventually (I got a long list )

That's not good at all. I would not feel comfortable driving with a brake lights that do not work. Not to mention, you can earn yourself a pretty fat ticket. put your stock back on asap.

Unless you're planning on driving across the country to get these installed at their facilities, you cannot get them sent to you any longer. Maybe they had this happen to more than one person. I was considering getting these 2 months ago but lost interest after I heard that some of these tail lights had the hyperblink.

Official Notice from Feint Lighting Inc.
As of 4/11/07 Feint Lighting Inc. is discontinuing its LED Tail Light services by mail. LED Tail Lights can still be bought and ordered, but the production and install must be done at Feint Lighting's facilities. All current owners of Feint Lighting Tail Lights still have their limited lifetime warranty, and any previous orders will be taken care of. We are sorry if this caused any inconvenience, but at this time we feel it is not wise for the company to further the sales of LED tail lights. Thanks for your time.
