I never liked the look of red turn signal, they blend in with ur brake light which is not good. I wanna be seen from far away when I signal and u can't really see it when it's red Vs. amber. Amber really stands out when blinking, especially at night! Red turn signal may be a bit better if it's a bright LED, but regular bulbs don't stand a chance when ur LED brake lights are on.

I feel the same way. Red means one thing and yellow means something entirely different on the rear of a vehicle.

As an aside - modifications to the vehicles taillights could be a huge negative in accident lawsuit claim. Something to think 'bout!

Ok lamin x makes a precut kit I was thinking of getting it which is light enough. And shouldn't be an issue in regards to the law.However they should go after the people who plasti dip their tails black! like wtf people can't tell if your lights are on or your braking smh.For those with yellow fog overlays,where did you get it from? Both Laminx and headlight armor's color is too light. I just want to have a crisp yellow look for my fog lights. Does anyone know the diameter of the fog lights so I can get some universal covers and make them fit. please let me know thanks.

Didn't mean to offend you with my rear tail lights pic, simply a suggestion. No need to call 911 buddy. My brake lights are visible, in the pic they are off, plus you know the 3rd brake light.

You know what's a crime though? That paragraph or whatever it is you call that. There's this thing called English, and in it we have commas, capital letters and overall grammar, you might want to check those out

Good luck!

I'm running white front turn signals & red rear turn signals looks pretty cool IMO. My car stands out when turning on the turn signal .

I currently have red-outs but I wish my tail lights were a little darker red. Like the new Porche's with the smoked tail-light package and like the BMW 5 series pictured on the first page.
That being said, does anyone recommend a film or have any pictures of this done on a GS?
I just want a slightly darker red.
