I really WANT to like these, but they look a little too euro for my taste. they do clean up the rear tremendously, but I think I'm going to hold out for a 2013 style aftermarket or do the 2013 tails and bumper.

Ar the reverse lights as bright and light up the area like the stock ones?

Although you reuse the same bulbs and sockets in the new taillight, my personal opinion was they are not as bright. Probably because the light is spread more horizontally and low, so lookingout the back of my vert with the top up it did not throw the light out as high and as far back. Still bright enough in my opinion in a dark area, but not as much as the stock taillight. That's my experience.

Before and after pics:

Do you still have the black trim from your old lights?
I'm interested!

Trim pieces are not black, I still have them but they are Sterling Grey like the rest of the car.

The reverse lights are not as bright as stock, so I think I'm going to try and find some LED.
