I have heard of problems from the many of the vendors. They did not stick or peel off correctly. Our forum vendor toeknee69 sells them and the quality is much better, they look great. Email her toeknee69

They are and with the lights on at night WoW. Since the material is "etched" it has a translucent property so the light passes through while causing them to almost "glow"

I have them and they add a very subtle touch to the headlights. They actually add a classy look to the lights. You have to look closely to see them........they don't stand out where they are too gawdy....

I have them on my car and several people have commented on the "etched" lettering on the headlights. Even after I told them it was a decal they had a hard time trying to tell.

I agree with others, they are subtle and classy looking. Amazing for a decal, but true.

I don't think that's overkill no flags.

I bought mine through Mid America Motorworks, and I too have to say they were not the easiest to install - luckily they gave me 3 strips because I had wasted one of them because they did not peel off the strip very easily and some of the letters go stuck over the other letters, destroying it to the point where I had tear it off the light, throw it away and start over. You really have to be very careful removing them but hopefully they have improved the process.

Good luck with them...and they look SWEET once they are on.

They are very subtle and you really can't see them until you get real close to the front - not something you see cruising down the road and it's not "in your face" decals.

I say go with them.
