Which ones did you use? They look very good on yellow!

I've been wanting to do this mod but have been wary of the fact that some interfere with the TPMS signals.

I did this in my last C7 3 years ago and had success, but I can't find where I sourced them form.

I did the side markers and the rear reflectors at that time.

I changed mine out a few years ago. I really like how the LED's light up the entire strip.

Blow the pictures up and judge for yourself , I believe they look great

I think the biggest complaint was that they don't snap in tight so I used 3 pieces of thin 3M high grip double face tape behind each and pressed them in hard to engage all the clips . I agree with others that for the price you should not have to do this but I think it has to do with manufacturing tolerances

They have been installed for over 4 years now and still sit flush
Even though I bought the tinted version , I still added window tint to them as I did not want to see the strip of LED's, which is easy to apply
