My current car has smoked taillights (got it that way) and I hate it, people tailgate too much..so I can't depend on my blinkers :/
Anyway do you think you could take pictures of them outside in daylight, and maybe another shot with the blinker on?
It would help me out on deciding

The Crystal Eyes in the video above you are smoked. That can help you make your decision as well.

I'll necro thread a bit since I'm wondering about the brightness. I know Valentis are hardly seeable from a distance during daylight (don't know about Tom's) but I've never heard anyone comment on theses.. Thoughs ?

They are very bright. Nobody will have an issue seeing them at night. The amber turn signals are the slightest bit weaker though, but still okay.

TOM's are OEM kind of bright, so they don't seem as aggressive (that's what I have now since starting this topic).

I love mine as well, and even though they have a well sealed gasket I did get condensation.

Condensation came from the design flaw of the car - the water channels around the trunk that flow water under the top of the housings into the gaskets, which erodes the gasket seals thus allowing ingress of water into the housings.

A simple fix - snow man snot.
No more problems.
