Yes,
I didnt totally elliminate the bulbs because here in Virginia(Many other states) the car goes into Strict State Inspection every year, they check each and every bulb and the car fails inspection if the bulbs dont lite up.
Also, this helps me avoid all IDrive Errors safely.

know how to totally get rid of them without getting errors?

guess just covering the small bits the bulb has exposed would do the trick

but what to use... hmm

why is that?

in texas we got inspection aswell but that isnt of interest to me

especially when the big round light off to the side is illuminating

should be enough to pass



do the rods actually become brighter when braking?

or stay the same and the lights in back just give off that appearance?

The trick creates an illusion which makes it look like the rods brighten up, you can see from the picture(Very first gif image on the thread). I will later be working on a complete Ricky kit which will be sold for a very low price.

Trust me, you will like it

I liked this more than my LCI lights.
I hate it when I brake and the red bulbs are on and can not see any of the red tubes.
I wish I can do it to my LCI too.
