"NFG"...that is an accident waiting to happen. The lights are designed to be seen, not hidden. Remember, if you get smacked in the back side that there are laws on the books that state the DOT lighting sytems in the car can't be modified. Someone could claim "I didn't see his brake lights"...just my $0.02. Personally I like the contrast with the factory lights. In fact, I'm going to look for a set of Euro Amber directional lights for the rear of my urS4...in my mind it is all about function and safety. Nothing else matters on this topic. This is a form follows function deal.
