Default Helix Taillight Question.

Ok I know this has been posted before, but I have a couple of questions. First did anyone ever figure out what LED, or bulb to use for the brake light that is really bright. Cause what happened to me is that I used a super bright LED, but it fried my circit board. My other question is if I would use a wire harnes from the TYC tail ights would they fit in the holes, and would the super bright LEDs work, so the wires wont fry.

with out seeing the "guts" of what your talking about.... i'm only guessing.... but you may need to put a resistor inline with the superbright LED to lower the current and prevent the frying... at least 1/2 watt... and pending the # of LEDs in the line... i'd say 300ohm as a starting point...
