They look great. I plan on keeping the lights white instead of yellow, but as you can see, the stock bulb is more yellowish white than white white. I'll be purchasing new bulbs to better match the headlight shade.

Anybody have the smoked set installed on a dark color car like Black or Steel Grey? From the pictures it looks like there is a white or silver border around the edge of the side marker. I'm wondering if is actually that way and if so if it's visible when installed.

yeah. that's the only sucky thing, but like I said should be easily fixable with touch up paint. derspeed correct me if i'm wrong but it looks like yours also has some silver surrounding but a clear lense on top of it? if that's the case, i'm not sure if you can easily access that part to color match paint.

It's just the seam or something. It's under the lense. You guys make me laugh with all of the stressing out about a line. This is all that's available. Until something else comes out we have to deal with it. Anything is better than amber and no one else will notice. The point of these lenses for me, is to let the eyes pass by them. The ambers were like a magnet.

Might just be how the picture came out, but the stock bulb is this pale white. A little yellowish in tint maybe, but not the bright white that I was hoping. It's the same as your rear license light. Even though the lens in clear, it still comes off pale. I'm ordering new bulbs that'll be super white in color and also a set of stealth yellows in case cops decide to be dicks about it :p

i ordered mine on thursday and they arrived on saturday...EXCELLENT service. i installed them and yes, they do have a silver "stroke" or border...i have a black car so i got the smoked but i think the clears would look nice too. i will say this...its the best thing i've done to the car from an aesthetic stand point. those old markers were the ONLY orange on the entire car and killed the lines. now with the orange gone it really, REALLY helps to pull your eye across the car with no obvious distractions. as far as losing the silver stroke, i agree with derspeed, it is what it is. you can sand, prime and spray the edges, which i might do, and which i think will look MUCH better, more so on the black cars for obv reasons, but they sit outside the well, flush, so there is really no way to work it perfectly. oh well.
