Default Black outs?

86 vette. I have Led taillights and HID fogs so shining thru the covers wont be a problem. I keep getting high beamed by other drivers when I run my fogs(corvettehid.com) I am running 55 watt low beam headlights so it really is the fogs that are hurting their eyes.

Do they look good or bad on a blacked out Corvette. Mine will be blacked out with these lights. Just a thought. About to get a new paintjob in black so I thought these light covers would finish it off. What you think?

Static cling so they can be easily removed. They ARE legal. I already checked about that. Thanks guys.

BTW, since I installed those led taillights, I don't get tailgated at night anymore. I can't wait until I go to 37 leds from 19 leds.

I have them in front but unless you give them a little help they will blow off one day. I used a small film of black RTV around the edge. They are also cut small so you will have to stretch them for a good fit.
