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**
