All LED's are brighter than that of traditional bulbs. And, they last longer.

The LEDs in the Hybrid are brighter. However, the normal Camry bulbs are so easily replacable in comparison!

Yes, that's what I thought. I have been thinking about getting Hybrid LED tail lamps,
but haven't really made up my mind just yet... ($327 for all four tail lamps is a bit much
from Toyota pars... perhaps I'll see what fleaBay has... )

However, I was following a white Camry Hybrid for several miles this morning. It was stop
and go traffic heading west into the city. (so the sun was directly behind me) At times,
the Hybrid's LED brake light(left & right) became quite hard to see. It was even dimmer
than the car in the next lane(a Cadillac Escalade, also LED brake lights)

Anybody have a side-by-side comparison of regualr Camry and Hybrid Camry with
the brake lights on? (before I give the Toyota parts guy $327?)

I think the Hybrid brake lights look better, but I hate the extra tall reverse lights.
