Default Black outs ??

I am thinking of putting some Blackouts on my yellow coupe. I was wondering about when it comes to watter behind them? Do you have to take these off everytime you wash the car? Im assuming that water behiond these would not be the best thing right?

Anyone have any yellows withthem on so I can see some? Also any links on where to getthem? Looking for the ones that would let the light through even when they are on.

Thanks.

I've never seen any need to take them off. I don't have a pic of the front right now to show you, but here is the rear...

Another option for you is the blackouts that are offered by Corvette Enhancements.
They are the stock OEM lights that have the black tint bonded to them permantly by using a special heat treating process.
This elimates all problems associated with the stick-ons.
Richard, the owner of the company, is also a great guy to do business with.

They're illegal around here...so I can't have them anyway. There are some really STUPID laws in PA about that kind of stuff...
