I explained that the car was 30 years old (he wasnt yet) and they were this 'bright' as long as I have owned the car. I also mentioned it is inspected and passes every year. Never failing for tail lights.
I mentioned that I would check other cars of the same vintage and compare lumens.
I have a pic I took on the side of the road a few minutes ago it is too big to upload here.
Anyone interested, please post yours. No flash please.
Thanks.

The lights will of course look dimmer with his headlights shining on them from a few feet. Ask him to look at them with his headlights off.
