Default LED Tails... darker then stock??

Hey guys,
I wanted to know if the LED tails that are available on ebay are darker then the stock ones. Im thinkin about buying a set and smoking them but I have heard they they dont light up as bright, which will lead to tickets!

Anyone have any experience smoking the LED tails??

A side-by-side comparison can be found here.

Not sure how tinting them will affect the directional lighting of the LEDs.

In the picture it seems they aren't darker than the originals. Actually the is-f's seem darker. I wouldn't know how bright they would light up but since they are leds they probably should light up brighter.
