Anything you can do would be great. I just love the way these look red on red but if they light up orange instead of red when the headlights are on or the brakes are hit I just can't deal with it.
I was going to take a video for you on the iphone the other night (it was dark out but the lights in the garage were all on). I noticed that while the lights look RED to my eye, they appeared ORANGE on the video. So I don't think you can trust the videos and I wouldn't get too worried and think they light up orange. I can try again once I get a better camera, but again that won't be for a while. I can also try again in better lighting but I really don't think a crap camera will give you an accurate view.

There is one on youtube but the lighting and/or camera is poor. I just LOVE the way the red Colins look on Firestorm when off but all the pics of these lights make the brakes/tails look orange and not red. MUST be red and visible. Function is my primary concern with these things.

This sort of lighting would likely be best to demonstrate.
I posted these up a while ago on a other taillight thread. Let me know if this doesnt work for you

They're likely going to be available in June. Check the Toms headlight thread.
