Look, man, he's not trying to "start **** online." The fact of the matter is that your rebellion, exodus, whatever you wanna call it came into effect a good month or two after the majority of people that cared about this site already found a new home. The people you want to join your site are already gone. It's like you're offering someone a motel room after they just inherited their rich uncle's 12-bedroom mansion.

i believe tinting them would be worse if you think it sucks in sunlight already. how bad is it in sunlight? have a pic? i haven't had time to fix mine yet.. i snapped a screw.

mine are Anzo USA and not the ones from eBay, but they look exactly the same. dunno if that would make a difference

are they all clear and what do they look like in sunlight [pix]. I mean they arent terrible its just the surrounding chrome is really shiny and makes the led dimmer than normal honestly ive personally never seen them with direct sunlight on them im only imagining because of all the chrome.

both shots taken in direct sunlight.

CLOSE-UP


5 FEET AWAY


dont you think tinting them just a little bit would reduce the glare from the sunlight beaming off the chrome?

It would probably reduce the glare and also give a better contrast. Its hard to see the red light-up when its surround by all the chrome, at least during the day when you can't see it reflect off the surrounding chromed plastic.

PM me if you want to sell your stock tails...

should've got the other version of those lights, where it's red on top, instead of clear. i'm sure they're bright enough, tho, else they wouldn't be dot approved, which i think those are. however, if you tint them, they probably won't be bright enough then.

i tinted them and they reduce the glare from the chrome and sunlight alot. I didnt really do a good job with the tints as they had a lots of spots. ill redo this weekend, but i think they look good and they didnt really get that much dimmer with the tint.

Looks good. Nice to see you didn't get all bent out of shape about the "Boo! Take 'em back! Ricer!" comments you received as well.

I think he should tint the top red, and tint the blinker part (which i'm assuming is the break light) amber.
