They look great! Is there any downside to having the smoke lenses for the back up lights?

Thanks dude! I've noticed the brightness went down only a tad bit for the reverse lights during the day. I personally think the output is very much noticeable still. My reverse lights are LED also. I'll take some pics with the reverse lights on.
