    How bright does the light shine through? It just feels like someone would hit you and complain that they couldn't see your brake lights since they're tinted.


    Also, I want your bed rack.

    Well the current tails are MUCH lighter than the previous set I had on there. That previous set could be argued that you couldn't see the "parking lights" and only saw when the brake lights came on. This set allows much more light through than the previous set. I will also be replacing the OEM bulbs with LEDs shortly to improve the light output.

    Also you can't have my bed rack. :p

    Maybe you missed the part about me living in the sticks. The closest major city is over an hour away from me.

    Charter residential...great for download, sucks for upload:

    They're actually pretty clear. The light shines through well. They will fade a little in the first summer too. If you want it, but you are concerned...I can make them lighter around the lenses.

    Here's mine after 2-3 years.

    I'm sure some l.e.d's for the bulbs would also help if needed. Idk if you could even put them there..

    I was just wondering is all. I think both sets look pretty good. Brian, I may have to have you do my headlights and taillights sometime down the road.

    nono, I got that, i figured while we were on the topic of bandwidth, we might as well compare so you know what the upper limit of what your gear can do. it's weird because you should be getting higher LTE numbers since -you are- in the sticks. The fiber that the LTE nodes are attached to shouldn't be over subscribed. you should be seeing around 30Mbps down, WRT to upload, you're on par w/ everyone else is getting.

    I'm kinda wondering if they're running any sort of throttling on you.
