Help Needed - Brake Light Question
I was stuck at a set of traffic lights the other day behind a Yaris. The LB Yaris in front of me had it's brake lights on. It appeared to me to have 6 leds where my brake light has one bulb.
The one I was looking at had 6 leds in the shape of a hexagon with the sixth led in the middle of it. It was in a standard brake light. Has anyone seen this before or know of where you can get such a thing?

I would say if you decided to swap the entire 09 light assembly in, you would need an 09 rear bumper to make the lights sit flush. Otherwise it would tuck inside and your bumper corner near the hatch lid will be left protruding out..
Because the 09 tail light design flows smoothly into the hatch lid.

I dunno i like the led look and then i dont. With a normal bulb it gives a clean all around illuminated look. With led it is not. But its each thier own personal styling prefernce.
