Brighter Tail lights?

Does anyone know if the "brighter clearance lights trick" that is posted in the stickies will also work for the tail lights?

Why are you trying to make the taillights brighter? They're dim so you can differentiate between the lights being on and braking.

Won't the tail lights still be more brighter when braking than they are if they were on (regardless if I made them brighter)? I wanted to make them brighter bcuz i have altezzas, and the altezzas that I have have a slight pink color to them.

No. Do you just think the brake pedal magically makes them brighter? They operate the same as the 95-96 clearance lights, they have 2 different brightness levels. Period. Modding them makes the brighter one stay on all the time. There is no brighter-er.

...and please, PLEASE correct your grammar.

if this worked and you did this, it would just look like your brake lights were on all the time

Sell the altezzas, they give you crappy output anyway. Red clears FTW. If you want them brighter, have LED boards installed on them, that will make them brighter.
