I think with the lights on they look awesome but with them off look awful and very strange.
Mum still tempted by them but would want to tint them red before installing them

Our site was inop for 3 days, as a result, many didn't have access to the tail lights to purchase at pre-order pricing on the next batch. It's now available again at $349 + shipping.

Yes, the acrylic blackout covers do fit. I have them installed now.

Also, I just received these tails this past Monday and already have them installed and completely forgot about this delay issue so I will have to take a look tonight. I do have the sequence option on these tails so I am assuming I probably have the same issue. I sure hope not.

I think they will look good on Silver and white, other colors not so much, unless they are tinted dark, just my preference. I do love their headlights though, may do it at some point.

My only complaint with the headlights is the light output. Def not the same. Otherwise the look is way better and more modern not to mention if you are going for the blacked out look these are perfect.

You may need to adjust the aim of your projectors. Mine are significantly brighter than stock.

We sell them in Cherry painted red, rather than waiting for the factory to finish them we have painted 2 sets so far and a 3rd on the way.

I agree...I don't like them. I have blackout lens covers on a black car, and people tell me how great it looks. Maybe those look better in person than in pics.
