Got a response and they messed up the post for it on ebay and are going to send me the correct ones. I do however have to go to ship the ones they sent tomorrow morning and send them the tracking number before they can ship out the new ones but they are also going to refund the return shipping to me. if all goes well good feedback will be left.
wow thats really good that they already responded to you and worked everything out, just sucks that you have to wait for them to ship the right ones

Thanks I went to college station pd but they did say they may cause problems during the day so I may look into a line of fire.

I got a chance to stop by ups and mail the wrong heads back today. They won't go out till Monday but they'll get there on Thursday so hopefully I'll have my new ones by then

Dang that sucks. Mine are basically black, and a police officer told me today that they look fine. He said as long as he can see me using the brakes during the day then dont worry about it.

good question and im sure someone has seening all the trucks around here with them. Im gonna have to say that getting it inspected in cs will pass me since the inspection costs 15 bucks and only 6 or that stays at the shop and they dont make enough to complain about much of anything rather they want you in and out. no emissions either

haha Man that sucks! So how did you finally get in inspected? The place I go get mine inspected knows me pretty well because I got my exhaust done there, and they know my family. They dont check much when I go to get an inspection.

at the time i had the RVinyl on the lense, which blacks them out pretty much the same way as Nightshades does. I ended up just peeling it off. I was pretty pissed, i didnt really think the shop would care, it was a pretty sketch lookin place and it was cheap as hell.

idk

That is when you say look moron. When your car starts to get close to mine.. that means slow down! Whether you see the lights or not!
