Sorry guys that it took so long I had a long day. Here are the pics i promised Most of them are from when I put them on today.

Disclaimer: These are cell phone pics I lost my camera so this all i got.

Hope you like

I think that my only complaint is that the manufactuer used white sealant/silicone rather than the black stuff. I'm sure some overlays will fix that look. You can see it below. I only took 2 night shots, they are pretty bright.

Looks nice! How is the quality?

I love that one shot where you are standing next to the passanger door and shooting the back of the car, how you can see through the light, that is really neat.

Looks way slick on the black ride

Hmm, thanks for the pics. I'm still not convinced. I gotta see them on Rob and Phenom's cars. I don't like the chrome trim around each little led.

+1, I wish it was a covered with a red cap, so you couldn't see each light...that is my main pieve, but I like the blacked housing and clear lense. Why don't these companies bring this to us first? Sheesh...

The quality was good. My only gripe is the color of the sealant. You can really see the white along the edges.

I think I may have to spray it and just leave the turn signal and reverse light out

Im assuming we could talk to the seller about it maybe come up with something. LED's should have a long life anyways so I'm not worried. As long as they last while I own it.

got mine in today also... gonna post em here as well as in a new thread showing some of my recent mods

lights off the car...



I would give the overall quality an A-... IMO, very close to OEM specs.. I added a bit of silicone sealant along the bottom just for added comfort,. but upon my inspection, it looks like it has a pretty good seal all around anyway.. here's where I added the sealant





Just from looking at Anthony's pics, IMO, on a darker car, these may look better either tinted with paint, or with an overlay... I'm gonna rock these on the car for a while without the overlay.. but if I don't like em, I'm gonna throw on one of bluebatmobile's 6/10 overlays... I'll post pics of these on my silver car later today... stay tuned

EDIT...

I went back and looked at Anthony's pics... what I think he, and most of you with darker colors will not like , as Anthony already mentioned, is the white silicone used to seal the taillights... this goes around the ENTIRE outseide of the taillight... thus, there's a noticeable contrast... again, I think this will be fixed with some bluebatmobile taillight overlays

I'm kinda torn on these. On the one hand, I like the look of the lights with the black car and the rims (I've got the same setup going) but then again as someone mentioned before, they do really remind me of the ricer hondas that I see all the time. Hmm...

You could always open them up and paint in black chrome everything that's shiny and at the same time you'd have a chance to use clear silicone instead of the white opaque one they used.

yeah like that they do look like the ricer civic ones a little

even though I bought these, i do agree that they resemble the civic rice rocket tails a bit... biggest downfall... anyway, I just put them on my car... and I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up getting the bluebatmobile overlays installed...

OK, here are the pics... first, I must say that I like them better in the light than I did under the dim shade of my garage area... IMO, the chrome inside the lights accent the chrome on my car... I KNOW, I KNOW .. many folks here don't dig chrome, and I understand that, for those folks, perhaps either tinting the lights or re-painting the insides might satisfy your needs.. but for me.. I really like the way the lights accent the overall silver / black / chrome theme on my car...











some extra shots of my baby..
