You made the right choice. Where did you get them?

If anybody has had the same problem and wants to sell one please IM me.
Call ecklers back and tell them one fell off due to ba adhesive. Have them send you a new set and you gladly send back the other 3 if they like.

VG's blackouts seem different than ecklers. VG, where do you get your blackouts? How do they install? They look like they have screws in them?

Ordered them from exotic vett - $89.95 shipped. They go over your existing lights, and you use the factory screws. I LOVE 'em

They arent far from me. Maybe I'll take a drive, put one on or hold it up to see how they compare to my Ecklers blackouts

I was thinking the same thing. They look great, but then you get rear ended by someone saying it's your fault because your tail lights were covered.
