Well, I saw a pic (wasn't the best quality) and they looked pretty bright. When the owner of the bulbs told me they are so bright that you will see the bumper outline (shadow) on the ground.... I figured these must be very close to the Lexus tag lights. The Lexus uses a different bulb style. I'll keep you guys posted with a review and nice pics :yes:
