Looks really good, question though, are the turn signals easy to see during the day? Do they get washed out by the day light or are they very visible?

Thanks, and the way the named the light says it is black and orange, but the lights shine red when turned on. It is just the name they gave them. If you have any more questions let me know.

Well I live just north of Pittsburgh, PA. This past week we have had a lot of rain, and the car was sitting out and driven through it. I have not had any problems with them at all, and if I do I will post it on this thread.

Whoa that is incredibly nice! How dark is it in the daytime? I want dark taillights but I rather have the insides painted black than a tint.. Mostly because I don't want to be pulled over or have someone blame my taillights that they couldn't see my car or something. Not sure about CA Laws but I'm pretty positive people have been pulled over for tinted tail lights.

Actually, the smoked outside gives them better contrast during the day vs. not being smoked. LEDs tend to be hard to see in daylight. However, the smoked lense "darkens" the area in front of them, making them easier to see. Hope that makes sense.
