I have had nothing but positive feedback from motorists on my high-output taillights (Nova BULL, DiNotte). They think they're great. I even had a sherrif's deputy get ahead of me and flag me down so he could find out what kind of light it was, and where to get one. I asked if he thought maybe it was TOO bright? and he said no, it's visible, but not excessive. I think motorists would be more likely to get annoyed if you're a last-second discovery, than that you're super-visible.
