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.

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.
