I was out driving the bird clone on Saturday afternoon, it was around 2pm, nice and sunny...and warm. I pulled into a store and a guy stopped to admire the car. He mentioned he could barely see my brake and turn signals and worried some punk kid would smash right into the back of me if they were not paying attention. Any suggestions on getting the tail lights brighter? LED lights or some other trick? Thanks

Check the bulbs for any corrision.
Check your grounds- seems like 90% of electrical problems are somehow related to a poor grounding issue.

Next to the E brake behind the kick panel is a rear harness connector. I think you can check it's connections pretty easy.

I bet yer chrome housings inside are either dirty or the chrome is all but gone....take the housings and lenses off, either clean everything real good, including the inside of the lenses, or get some aluminum chrome heating tape and re-do the inside of the pot metal housings
