Couldn't get a pic of the brake lights on, it's hard to hit the peddle and be behind the car :)

It's really really dirty right now, but you get the point. The swirl marks in the lense with the lights on are really not visible, just the picture.

I'm doing a set of those tail lights on both of my coupes. So let me get this stright, they are the lens only right? You buy the lens smoked and then take the stock ones off and then put these on then reseal them? peace

Ya, just the lense. The hardest part for me was getting the old stock lenses off. Make sure you have a couple good prying tools, possibly a thick gasket scraper type tool, as the stock lenses have been sealed for 15 years. The lenses are a smoked clear lense, so they are not DOT approved. If you run into a cop on a bad day, he could get you for them. Also, because they are clears, you need colored bulbs. I currently have colored glass bulbs, but that will be changed to led bulbs soon, because the color doesn't fade (red bulbs turn pink quickly with heat), and the led's are really bright...

edit: also, the lenses come with another roll of the gasket seal stuff, but I didn't use mine. I just swapped them on a warm day and had no problem re-sealing them. Having a heat gun would really help soften the old seals up...
 
I like the look, but somethimes those tail lights are hard to see when you stop during the day. But I think they look cool.

Ya. That's the main reason to get led bulbs for them. That is also why I'm keeping the 3rd brake light, but its gonna be tucked under a special edition wing when the paint comes this summer...
