Thanks for the heads up Tom! I went over the welds at work and pressure tested the tanks and all seems well, with the PC I will notice should it start leaking something as it stands out against the black and is a PITA to clean off.

 

I've got those, too. Had a thread on them before the crash:

 

Looks really good Josh.

The big question for me is, are they noticeably brighter at all?

 

I think so, but I have my taillights tinted with the film kit from Moss, so they're ultimately dimmer than stock. I actually got them hoping they were brighter to shine through the tint, but I think during the day with sun glare they're still difficult to see, because of the tint not the LEDs. But there are other cars that way, too, that I see on a regular basis. They do have a different pattern within the taillight housing itself, difficult to see when they're off but noticeable at night. The sequential itself is very cool to have, though, I see people behind me at stoplights commenting on them to passengers all the time.

I haven't yet made a decent video of them at night, but hopefully will soon.

 

I've got taillights painted with a thin layer of black and then some clear coat. So I am in the same situation and I too was hoping they were brighter so that maybe in the daylight, especially sunshine, they would be more visible to the people behind me.

At night its not a problem, but to be honest even stock taillights can be difficult to see in direct sunlight.

I see alot of cars that are darker than mine for sure. I just wish they had sprayed a little less black on them and I'd feel fine.

 

Looks awesome EagleStroker!

Sorry for the hijack, but may I ask where you procured that blue air filter for your C&L? It looks pretty trick.

 

Haha this threads already been jacked no worries man. Its an Amsoil filter, PM shadyninja on here he will steer you in the right direction. Ill be in your neck of the woods this week!

 

I'll be interested to see what your's look like after they're installed with the spray-on tint. I was thinking of going to a lighter tint on my taillights, but what a hassle.
Besides, picked up the LED signal mirrors on discount from CDC, so shouldn't have much more problem once they're hooked up.

 

I'll be the odd man out, I liked the polished better!

 

Hehe. I'll be going to the Mecca of car people tomorrow as well

 

Be sure to stop by our booth and ask for Robert D (we have 2)

 

+1 on the polished.
