Has anyone installed these? If so any pictures or feedback?

I wonder if in the US you have to have RED reflection or coloring in your tail lights, making these not legal. I am thinking about picking them up.

EDIT - Amazon link for $258 -

Close to the dumbest possible mod ever suggested (2nd only to those stupid "Bedazzled" roundels on eBay). Please don't do this to your poor car, let it maintain some semblance of dignity

Amazingly I saw this during Mfest. It was, without a better word to describe, atrocious. Do not want.

LOL, I also have the same response as the others. This is a BMW not a Honda Civic or an Eagle Talon, treat your car with respect
