You are right, they do look good on the car. And the difference in brightness between them and the stock bulbs makes your car very visible to other drivers.

Very good mod to your car.

If they weren't " Dudes" I would buy them and ditch the Euros.. I don't want to be associated with " Dudes " or Dude like objects....
IM OK being the Old Guy with the Old guy tail lights , I guess.

It was a compliment....as I said above they look good on your car.

Not an Idaho thing...an English Dictionary thing....

"chic" pronounced: SHēk/

adjective
1.
elegantly and stylishly fashionable.
synonyms: stylish, elegant, sophisticated, dressy, smart; More

Did you have a problem with the 'hyper' turn signal flash like other halos do ? I'm considering them on my '04.

IM making " Fun " of all the people that use " Dude " as a descriptive noun for everything, including these halos. I hear children calling their fathers " Dude " I hear young children disrespectfully calling their own grand fathers and grand mothers " Dude ". the Hello little " Dude " is as bad as " Are you feelin me " , "with that said " and "IM going to pull the trigger ". seems to me many people have lost their ability to communicate in an intelligent way. its not earth shaking , or serious as Cancer.. but its annoying. babies , mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, even inanimate objects all called " Dudes ". Its just a shame. But its hardly the end of the world.

Words are more disrespectful considering how they are used. Times continue to change and language evolves. Yes I agree, there are ways of speaking and words that can be disrespectful given the person, subject, the way they are used, etc.

IMO, "dude" is hardly disrespectful but I can see it is yet another thing that bothers you ET.

I guess what I'm trying to say is whatever dude, I'm just going to pull the trigger here and say that I'm not feelin' you on this one...
