Sure I will take some tonight and post them here for you . I have the LED's in the back and thought that blackout kit would take away from them but they really don't . I had one blackout on just one of the lenses and I personally didn't see that much of a difference .

Are your taillights flush mounted? If they are do you see the edges of the blackouts? I want to flush mount mine but not sure how it would look.
