I'm not sure why they designed them like they did. I just can't warm up to the reverse lights on those. It actually looks pretty good on your white car, but if I had them I would tint the reverse lights. I spray tinted my stock ones but it's starting to wear off so I just ordered the overlay tint from Rvinyl.com. Too much work to take them back out for another coating - I didn't do a very good job the first time. :-( "alan0614" has the overlay tint on his white 5.0 and it looks great.

I voted to keep them since the 2013 style lights aren't available yet for 2010-2012 models. At least I don't think they are.

They are not bad, but I think the originals tinted would be better. Either way as long as you like them, then all is good..

Thanks for the comments guys....I appreciate your opinions!
However, I do think Im gonna keep them! In fact I DID have my stock ones tinted (One Coat VHT Niteshades) and while it looked good at first it has faded a bit.
SEE BELOW
On anything other than a white car I would prob take the Aeros off, but on my car I do think they are staying on!

On another note, and off topic, which JBA H Pipe do you have?? Is it the one from AM that comes with the delete cat pipes?? And when you intalled the aftermarket h pipe, did you notice a change in sound compared to the stock h pipe?? thanks..
