I'm diggin the painted ones. I don't like the clear/chrome ones either. They don't match the headlight style at all. Only problem, do they still light up?

interesting project. i am just concerned though on how it would look like when lit - especially at night. would it not look dull? if so - would it still be safe?

suprisingly its lit well... although you cant see them as well as clears or oranges

but i could care less... i dont drive at night. but it is light enough to see a signal. even in the daytime.

fyi: these are temporary, i just wanted to see if they would work... i still have the orange ones if it becomes dangerous/etc


and the clear/chrome ones stupid. they may look good in a picture BUT in real life wow they look fakey/plastic


ps if anyone wants a DIY im down...
