I find the old one isn't that bright, you search on ebay there are some "4-sides"bulbs out there. It is better if the color temperature is 5000k
something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/H7-LED-Head...4AAOSwZJBbe2p6 | |

LED replacement bulb vary in quality, while the OEM halogen reflector or projector is designed for halogen bulbs the hot spot has to be the same. Sadly a lot of LED bulbs have a vary amount of adjustments allowing them to be out of aligment with the reflector.

While projectors are better for cut-off and light output they can still vary. The reflector bowl within the projector can differ when using LED vs Halogen bulbs.

finally found an LED bulb that fits the 2016 civic brake light housing and lights up as bright as the regular halogen.
I got the civic tinted and the tint guy of course tinted over the rear center brake light... this totally dimmed the output of the halogen.
This LED is real bright and burns through that tint with no problem... previously, i've found that some LEDs didn't have the power to illuminate the entire brake light housing especially in the daytime. but these did great...
*i had to modify the one by unscrewing the top portion otherwise it would be too tall to fit into the brakelight housing. (it is 3 sided so it has a crap ton LEDs on 3 sides)   
Previously I used what I thought was a powerful LED bulb but this pic shows otherwise:
**before it was tinted**  
Here is regular halogen output **BEFORE TINT**

The nose-down stance of the '58 beetle has always bothered me. We attempted to correct it two years ago, in what is a relatively easy procedure, but could not get the torsion bar splines to break free. My buddy who works on classic Volkswagens full time has never seen one as stuck as mine was. Ugh. Finally decided on the weekend that I couldn't take it any longer, and it would need to be corrected.
In order to get enough leverage on the spring plates, to slide them outwards off the torsion bar splines, I needed to remove the fenders... 
And then from there it was beat on the car with my 2.5lb sledge...when that didn't work, I tried the slide hammer. When that didn't work, I got to welding on some adapters. The passenger side came off with an adapter tack welded on in 6 places. The driver's side would not budge. Eventually I welded on an adapter for the slide hammer I machined from from 2.5" steel. 
From there it's an easy task of moving the spring plate however many splines you want for the drop. Only problem is you need to know what spline the spring plates were on...and I couldn't mark them due to the welded on adapter. They also didn't come off easily, so I had to guess. My first guess was spot on...for putting the car back to the way it was before. Sigh. Back into the garage, and do it all over again! Goes much faster the second time, when everything is coated in a lot of anti-seize!
Stance is much better now...sorry the photo is lousy.

Me - "Hey, I'm flying to X for two or three weeks, if I drop the '58 off do you want to take care of lowering the rear for me? Paid of course."
Friend - "Hell no! Fix your own crap, I'm not taking that job on."
How you know it's going to be fun...
Yesterday I began collecting parts to produce a replica of perhaps the greatest beetle accessory I've ever seen. Last one to go up for sale was two years ago, for an asking price of $590usd. To say they are rare would be an understatement. Figure I'm better off making one. 
Of course, I won't be happy unless mine is fully functional. Wonder how this will fare against the distracted driving law? :P

Unexpectedly replaced the timing belt and water pump on the RAV4...
Started off as a thermostat replacement but I snapped a stud for the thermostat housing  luckily, it was a part of the water pump and not the block  
Was holding off on doing the timing belt and water pump and tensioners until next year but it was honestly not that bad. Did the disassembly myself and a couple of buddies came by to help me finish it off

blower fan went..was ticking few days before it happened
took a few weeks to diagnose the problem and get parts shipped, should've just used logic instead of finding common problems others had (I was replacing the thermal cut-off/resistor first)
had to get it in asap as I had no defogger for the rain
at least I didn't have to cut the entire plastic piece holding the assembly in...who the hell designed that at Honda

It is almost always the blower resistor.
