These lights look better than I expected. Any possibility you can take pictures of the brake lights with the brake pedal being stepped on so we can see the brightness?

i saw these types of lights on ebay and they looked awful in the auction pictures (i'm 90% confident all of these lights come out of the same factory), but these look pretty good on the car. two thumbs up.

Congrats! Those looks pretty good.

I am highly considering getting a set for myself now.

I had those same tail lights on my car for awhile. I really liked the smoked/tinted look especially on a black car.
These aftermarket lights provide a really nice "updated" look compared with pre-lci oem.
And I can vouch for Bruce's (custom) cables for these lights...they really improve the functionality.

I'm liking the lights more and more every day .

I adjusted the fitting some more today and now they sit pretty nicely. We also went and washed the car with Flat Eric.
I believe the lights are the same ones as discussed in that thread (link above). The backlight isn't annoying me, but I talked with Bruce and ordered the Solar cables from him .
The smoked look suits the car better than I thought and these lights surely are something between the pre-LCI and LCI lights.
