[Healeys] Halogen Taillight bulb question

[Steve B. Gerow]

I tried halogen taillights a few years ago (JC Whitney) and took them out
because the running light portion was almost as bright as the brake/turn
light portion--therefore the car looked like I was driving with the brakes
on all the time.

Did anyone else notice this? Has this problem been rectified? Is this not a
problem?--maybe only on the bulbs I bought from JCW which were the cheapest
at the time. Discuss.
