They look pretty good. I'm not sure I like the yellow though.

thanks guys....well, they come in amber but the beam is fog and the lens is tinted yellow. the ones that come clear are the driving pattern. i wanted the driving pattern but in amber so i got my own amber vinyl and put it on. the idea behind it was (i read this somewhere) that yellow is better in rain and snow b/c of less reflection yet i wanted the driveing long range pattern. a little more friendly in town if aimed right (no one flashes me). also i like the yellow look personally...reminds me of trucks in south american and europe. the vinal also helps agains sand blasting and rocks as i drive w/o the covers all the time.

Well done man it looks good. Where are all these Seattle Runner's...I drive all over and yet to run into someone? I'll definately notice that one stand out with that yellow-still growing on me, but really-it looks good.

way to use your noggin'

I wanted the ambers also but in the driving beam light pattern. I would never have thought of adding my own tint as it were. Good idea.
