How are the Valenti tail lights during the day?
 
are they bright enough so people behind can see you are indicating, braking etc during the day? I want to get the red ones

I have the black smoked lens tails and they look great. Not a problem for sure... buy some!

@pansontw

I've seen these to be well aware they are perfectly visible in the day, but the only thing that concerns me is the indicator. How does it perform during the day? I don't want to sacrifice safety for looks.

The clear Valenti are perfect and very visible. I used while my 86 was my daily drive for 2 years

The smoked lens if you concerned, would suggest not going for them. I've just installed on my new 86 which is my weekend drive, so works fine for that application, but not a very good day to day tail light.

Hope that helps

There's another thread with a newer version of the Valenti tail lights. Release date unknown, but I would wait for those. They looks pretty sweet. I'm considering selling the ones I have to get the new ones when they come out and I've only had my tail lights for a month. Here's a pic of mine.

Unfortunately the sun was already going down when I took the pic. Haven't had any problems during the day with anyone saying they couldn't see the lights though.

Have you seen the new Valentis? They changed the look of the turn signal, looks even better IMO
