I'm hoping the 25 bulb LEDs are bright enough. If not i'll have you install seperate LED's to fill the entire housing.

I think they look good on your color car. Certainly not something you see every day.

there are many things that I don't like, and I did put it out here for everyone to critiqueI applaud your tenacity to put these on your car.. You asked for a critique...Your car always looked good to me, I think this is unique but I think it is a step backward... the best thing I can say is it's honest...no sugar coating here.. and since your initial post didn't say anything about opinions I didn't give any, but since you said "you put it out there to be critiqued", You also know if I really liked them, It would not be sugar coating it would be honest..

Guy's for those of you that want to say it looks like 
feel free. As I said this is not for everyone, 
I just thought it is a bit different than the standard euro lights. Something that sets the car apart from the others. Evil-Twin, these lenses are reflective Once the correct color RED LED's are installed they will light up red. The local police here (I have a bunch that live on my block) say they need to light up red, I see no problem at the moment but time will tell. Chris, (MANGOOK) my own son who drives an EVO....

Hey hey hey you know I love the car just I need to come over and see it. Just because I drive an import doesnt mean I have to like the clear tales. Maybe when I do another photoshoot I will come up and take some of the vette!

That said, I will be sure to report if I have an issue. Thanks for the clarification. I guess that's why all the new clear lens lights have a secondary red lens behind them.

I like em! I toyed around with the idea of putting those on my Z. I've got clear corner lights already, and Diamond Cut Back Up Lights. I went with the Red LED Taillights cause they look cool, and put out some serious light. If they made LED's with clear lenses like yours i'd get those in a heartbeat! Nice Mod!!!!!!!
