How do you like it? I have Raven and didn't want the eBay tinted Valenti's but now I'm eyeing these over just didn't know what color. They look sick. You get compliments on them?

Smoked stocks are my favorite, but my Intecs are second because the osrams will destroy you

These look like perfection on a black car. Reason being that the Black Chrome when passed through the smoked housing actually looks more Bronze/Black Chrome than just Black Chrome. It's hard to capture in a photograph. The coloring looks OEM+. Also the shape of the plastic housing (with that dimple in the circular center area) looks OEM+ (not aftermarket) as modern tail lights generally have a more sculpted shape these days, then just flat housings. Finally drivers behind me tend to respect my signaling for lane changes A LOT more than before. They don't seem to speed up to keep me from merging. I can only credit the sequential turn signals for this. They seem to get people's attention in a positive way. I've put a lot of mods on my car (including other tail lights), and I can say that these are a $500 upgrade that looks every bit the part. High end and sexy. |

Can confirm. I used to get a lot of people who never let me in when trying to change lane, now, they give me lots of space to merge in. A few times, I've spotted people taking pics at stop lights. Just a couple of days ago, a biker stopped behind me and shouted at his buddy sitting behind to look over his shoulder. They both proceeded to point at the lights, spotted me looking behind and gave me a thumbs up. Anyhoo, to contribute to this thread, I really loved OEM tails. If the Revos never came out, I would've stuck with OEM. |

Even though the Tom's came out before this year's Subaru WRX and Outback were released, they definitely look like they could have been designed by Subaru, as the newest WRX and Outback also sport similar horseshoe-shaped tails.

Yea that's holding me back I really like the clear ones but I'm not sure the melting issue may be sorted out without a diy tint fix

Honestly its not too bad. I bet a tint on just that top part would solve this issue as its sun damage not heat from the LED's
