eBay Smoked Taillights?

I bought some on the 10th. Hoping they will be here by Friday because one of my tails are busted. Anyone ever bought from these guys? How fast was the shipping?

I looked at those exact same ones on ebay today, lemme know how it turns out, I think by summer I'm gonna get them. I would niteshades my own, cause i want it dark, but ive been pulled over for less in town, so I'm gonna stick with DOT approved, and keep the documentation in the glovebox.

why would i lie???

i mean, i like em... but theyre a little darker than they look. but trust me, ive tried night shades first, and got ticketed within the first week. ive had these for about 4 months, and no cops even look at me... a lot of the light shines through.

you could have bought the vht nightshades for 8.5$ and done it yourself...but if you needed a new tail light anyways then okay...

little problem with fitting on the reverse lights. but i just put those little self-tap nuts on concrete and hammered them so that they can fit on a smaller dowel... i dont know if theyre all like that. of course its nothing major.

quality is great! they are very professionally done. you wont be disappointed. $90some dollars well spent.
