tint in darker lighting:



has a cameleon effect based on the surroundings. the tint becomes more reflective during overcast. i LOVE it. constantly surprised. haha.

I think it has been plasticized.

all lights off...the yellow city bulbs and yellow drls reflect within the housing when you view at eye level. i would recommend buying the yellow city lights along with the yellow DRLs, because you could turn on both lights without the low-beams on. those little city bulbs actually add quite a bit of yellow to the DRLs, since the DRLs are at 50% brightness.
