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

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.
