yes, tina told me that you ordered from them.
but since then they advanced. and i got my hads ons their older sidemarkers.
to the normal eye they were ok... all that was nescessary is a bit of fine sanding around the edges.

Argghhhh... wish I would have done this (darkened mine) before I installed them. The clear lenses (with white underneath) are a bit too white on a black car:



Next time I've got my front wheel well liners out, I'll probably pop out the side marker lights and do the gray tinting routine.

The ones I have are painted on the inside and outside. The base has been painted silver, and the lenses have been tinted on both sides.

I would consider an exchange, if you're interested.

Thanks, but I'll be OK with what I have. Other priorities and all that.

A bit of contrast? I'd say it's rather stark contrast. But not really that bad. I still like it better than the previous amber/orange.

it is ... a stark contrast. but when you look at is as a whole it blends in nicely with the wheels and headlights.
and it's much better looking than stock.
