David, you said,

<< Aside from being illegal, I think that can bite you -- if your tail
lights are as bright as your brake lights, how will someone know that you
have your brakes on?  By counting how many lights are lit? >>

   Our bus' anemic tail lights are damn near impossible to see in the
daytime, but are mounted low enough so IMO there's no big chance of
dazzling anyone at night with brighter bulbs, unless he's driving a
go-kart.  I do count on the guy behind me to be paying attention, and
I'll flash the stoppers if I think he's too close...our cat is usually
back there!   I like to be able to give more warning when I slow down,
but the stupid hydraulic brake light switch is no help with that.
