Hey,

I have heard that when putting serous subs into a trunk that it is good to replace the standard tail light bulbs with LED bulbs because regular filaments tend to break due to the excess of bass...can anyone out there confirm this, or is it an urban myth... thanks!

I never heard of that "myth". Never had problems with four 13.5 w7's in a yukon.
Maybe its best to. i am assuming. But with stock you'll be fine.

My third brake light on my 2000 Altima kept on going out, so I just took the brake light housing out (the brake light housing is held by the rear deck). However, I have never had any problems with my taillights.
