^yes!! if i wanted an ugly neon, i'd buy one. The tails on our cars are wicked and unique, why ruin them? Theyre my fave part of the car!

just my experience with LED's...they look awesome at night...but...they look terrible in the daytime(all you see is a dot) when the person behind you is lookin at the huge tailight
i know a couple times when we went down to scotts, me and alero168 had em, and both of said they are hard to see...i almost ran into the back of his car....i did try to modify them, by soldering on 3 leds facing the other direction, but it didnt work much better...if there was a way to mirror the lights to shine back towards the chrome inside it would work

.... you could always scuff up the outside of the lens.....

lol, when i hear i can brake something ill stop with it. Cant afford to wait 4 to 6 weeks on a tail light from the states. 
Clearing my corners took a whole day so i dont break anything.
I was thinking about scuffing the outside but it would loose its smoothness. O well, maybe when im bored one day |

I ended up using spray tint on my lights this weekend...did 3 coats and they turned out niiiiiiice...it darkened them quite a bit, and then at night with the lights on it gives it a nice red wine kind of glow...had many friends give me compliments on them.
