    brighten up your tail light

    if you think your tail light, is not as bright as before.take the lense off,remove the once shiny reflector.get some aluminum foil and crinkle it up a bit .spray some glue on the back of the foil and press it on to the reflector gently,so as not flatten it out .this will leave you with a reflective surface, that will shine like diamonds.if you want you could also cover the rest of the tail light insides.i did mine and it is at least twice as bright

      Hey, if tin foil works, its a darn sight cheaper than forking out for brighter bulbs.

          wrinkly or crinkly is better.Something else to remember i'm irish, so when i catch a fish that is 6 inches long,if someone asks how big it was, it becomes a twelve incher.So when i say twice as bright ,well at least its brighter.
