I like the all-red tint
Any thoughts to cutting out the reverse lamp portion?

It's different! Maybe it would be better if your rear window was tinted a little darker, and there was red elsewhere...

The reflectors are just cler reflectors no special functions, yet. The passenger side tail light is still clear and is the reverse light. It is only the driver side that is a fog

It's a bad picture. Probably should have cleaned the car and used the DSLR rather than the iPhone camera.

Isn't that just a rear fog for black/clear tails? I have one of those if anyone is interested.

Yes. You have an extra rear fog?

The link was for the rear fog light but I guess you want to film/overlay the whole thing..;)

I wish there were darker like the ones I painted but can't argue with OEM goodness

The lenses have a slight pink tinge to them but when in reverse the light output is white. Where the rear fog is just like the brake lights in color

This ebay seller has it for a more reasonable price, and they have other hard to find oem lamps. No idea if they're depo versions or what.

How many people do you know with led tails? How many you know with these? Haha

At first I thought you just wrapped them, that's why I suggested it.

But I do like them a lot :thumbsup
