I don't really like it. It kinda looks out of place and an after taught, imo. Yes it has somewhat of an L-shape, but it is on the opposite direction of the real taillights. Anyway, glad if you like it.

Good observation! The wires aren't wrongly connected, but the reflector was defected. I tried all combinations with the wires but at the end all 4 lines on when running brake lights. I didnt think it looked too bad so I just left it as it is.

do you have a shot when the brakes are depressed? does it get brighter?

I think just having them painted according to the color of your car looks better.
