Yeah, I am considering that. Really good alternative. Thanks for the suggestion!

I agree, I did the same one as HC, it's pretty damn bright all by itself. I even removed the stockers and it's plenty bright back there.

Did you do clear, red or smoke? So, do I just cut one of the wires to eliminate the turn signal action? I just want it for brakes.

No, you have to purposely wire it for signals with a different harness. If you connect both red leads to the brake light circuit, then it will be all brake only. Harley_Charley has the smoke one.
