The inner lights are one the reasons why I'm not sure if I like them... They are not lit... They only work as fog lights...

With my "point-and-shoot" Canon IXUS camera, providing you are far away enough from the car, you can also use a flash (to ensure it auto focuses / does not distort) but by being far enough away from the car it will not actually illuminate it and you should get a good shot of the rear of the car. Remember, when you upload the picture here, we can then normally click on it to get a larger image. Hope that makes sense and helps!

Some had paper and plastic bags on them, some just plastic bags.. The bags were not broken, so the damages must have been in the trims before the packing..

How does the OEM shadowline project progress?

Can you post the part numbers that you ordered?
