    I did the same thing as you (stock -> LED (too bright) -> back to stock).

    These covers are great with stock; the bulbs are dim but plate still shows. I don’t think I’ll go back to LED.

    My 2c - the only reason I can think of is nighttime visibility, but I have the Meso stage 1 tailights which are way brighter than stock.

    I'll be selling as long as people are buying! and pretty simple

    1.Clean the housing with alcohol wipes (now included)
    2.Remove adhesive backing
    3.Once alcohol is dried, place plates on respective sides (now marked on back of each plate)
    4.Firmly press on outer edge of each plate to ensure proper adhesion

    I you could 3D print the bezel that the light sits in with your glare blockers printed on there, you could just replace the entire thing with the 3D printed one.

    Just got mine. They weren't marked "Driver" and "Passenger", but I can't find any real difference between the two. Am I missing something?

    Never mind. They are neatly laser etched on the inside of the covers. I also noticed an incredibly small difference between the two.

    Anyway, they're on and now I just have to wait until dark to see how well they work.

    I started etching the back on the second batch, there's a very slight angle on the top of each to better match the housings. The first ones should of had a small piece of paper to identify which side. If you lay them on top of each other you'll see they don't line up perfectly with each other. They'll fit either side but look better when installed on the correct side.
