    It appears that the smoke tail lights tend to appear pink during the day. The red tail lights don't have this "issue".....

    They’re ok but I’ve always looked for something better. These ones seem pretty good and for a decent price.
    Question- Does the C shaped light illuminate when you have the blinker on? Or does the cluster of lights in the middle blink? I think the C shape blinking would be cool but I’m curious before I pull the trigger. Thanks!

    I had these but in regular/non-smoked. The white part didnt look pink during the day, even with the lights on. I'd get these again if I get another 2nd gen.

    the c-shaped bit comes on when lights are on. The cluster acts as both brake and turn signal.
