luckily it is right outside of the town I live in. I havent ever thought of the place before and was the first time I had done a fly by video. The one around 2:20 has to be my favorite on the video.

I was excited to see what these look lie on 7th gen SS's. They look decent but idk, maybe im just so used to the Orange on the corners hard to see it without, looks odd. I think it's something to grow the more i see em around The car looks amazingggg as hell none the less!

Yea it throws me off too still. But I really like it not having that amber that sticks out like a sore thumb. Had a few people comment on them while I had it out that noticed they were different. I think it would look good tinting the clear corner a little too. Thanks I appreciate it...I was actually debating putting pics up til I washed and waxed it because it seemed too dusty to me to post pics I guess thats when you know you are picky

A little tint on those clear corners would look awesome!

Looks and sounds great! I think it looks a lot better without the amber reflector

We will have to see how Matt's turns out if he decides to do that to his. I think it would look great.

Thanks. Sounds a little bit different than last time you saw it haha Now if the lights leak I am gonna make you take them apart and seal them for me

I am planning on smoking the side marker a touch when I have mine apart, so we'll see. I played around with the look in Photoshop and I think it looks good.

Frank, I'm anxious to see them on a black Monte too.

Might as well if you take them apart A tiny chevy decal somewhere in the black area would look cool do those 7th gen Headlights have an indicator bulb behind that reflector? If so what are y'all using? An amber bulb, White Led?

There is one of those small 194 bulbs behind the reflector. I know Stealth Silver makes one but I'm not sure about SilverStar. I'm not planning on using amber bulbs on mine.

Zach, what are you doing with yours? Did you just throw the amber bulbs in for now and are you planning on doing anything different?
