[QUOTE="wglee, post: 135159, member: 610"] Over the years, I have been using 1st generation Hella Matrix aftermarket units in my family's cars which are not factory-fitted with third brake lights. I find them pretty good - bright and the bulbs are very long lasting. The latest 2nd generation Hella Matrix - identifiable by its frosted look - are somehow not as bright as the 1st generation Hella Matrix. Try to get the 1st generation Hella Matrix if they are still available. They are indeed brighter. Alternatively, go to the car junkyards and pick a nice OE third brake light that can fit your car in terms of cosmetics/appearance. There are lots of designs. OE third brake lights usually have decent brightness. Do not buy cheap aftermarket third brake lights. They are not bright especially in broad daylight, tend to discolour or even warp under the tropical sun. [/QUOTE]
