Put up photos once you install them. I would not mind a little more umph in my back end (he he he) I would not mind the brakes lights to be a bit brigher in the daytime.

Depends on the tail light housing you have.
I hear on a stock 05-06 housing they arent soo good, but on Aero or standard pre04 lights they work pretty good.
i would suggest geting the ebay style ones, they are superior.

yep, you have plenty of room in the light housing for them.

The ebay listing says these "[FONT=Arial]two levels of output, high and low.". So this should solve my issue I am having the red LEDS I have that don't change a lot from when lights are to when I hit my brakes. Is this true?

The 12 LED ones that I originally used and that you have from the DIY are 1157, so they have two output levels.
the ones off ebay are alot brighter, and i should probably go back and reccomend that anyone doing the conversion now use these bulbs instead, as they really are a superior bulb.
