Looks good, did the same to my license plates lights.

I hope you know, the Eagle Eyes are numbered for specific positions.

The lights are in 2 pairs, One pair for the left side and one for the right side.

The back of the C6 is slightly curved. Each pair is slightly angled so that the lights will be straight back after you install them.

If you look at the OEM ones that you took out you should be able to see the difference in the light housing.

If you are standing centered behind the car about 20 feet back and the lights are on, all 4 lights should look the same, with the same clarity and brightness.

If they don't you have some installed on the wrong side.

The positions:

They are numbered 1Left side, 2 Right side, cause they have positions.

This is correct.

LH sides on the drivers side, RH sides on the passengers side. Inner and outer doesn't matter.

Yours are installed correctly

Looks great. I have the same tinted Eagle Eyes from JWM. Couldn't be happier. Always get compliments on them. Definitely the best tails for the C6 IMO.

I do like the subtle difference in tint. Wish they were a little less price wise, but they are very nice!

I wanted something that matched the third brake light and appeared factory to non corvette owners. I achieved that!
