oh, i would imagine they WOULD look nice on sport red. they sure as hell look sweet on my silver (maybe the best IMO) but either way, these are a great alternative to just tinting ur stockers. if only they came with the led ring aorund the reverse lights..

also many studies have been conducted over the years regarding drl, and its been proven to help reduce collisions as ur vehicle is more visible. some people just prefer the look of no drl. personally i am onside with the use of drl. and so is Canada!!!

Here's my LED tail lights (smoked lenses). Unknown brand, although I found a set very similar on amazon.com but can't remember who made them. They say they're made in Taiwan though...so I'm sure they weren't really expensive. They look really good though.

So my OEM passenger side tail light lens just fell out on my way to the beach last week.. I'm not even sure how that happened seeing as how the lens and the assembly are attached but yeah I'm just rollin around rockin the chrome tal light with no lens hahaha so I just bought these on eBay for $99
Can't wait to get em I'll DEF be posting pics!

it was intended for both. Better that people see all the options available to them, and to brainstorm ideas.

Are the turn signals still good and visible if the reflector is painted black??
