That being said. I looked at my stock taillights and it looks like the bottom does absolutely nothing. It servers no function what so ever.
So the outer edge isn't chrome it's a darked red plastic like stock?
Any pictures of these things in action?

This might turn into a January mod for me.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the optical illusion or camera created distortion...
What bothers me is the photo that the guy has listed with his ebay auction... it still appears that the plastic may either be 'light' or 'chrome' backing is in the assembly.
The 'ring' around the outside appears clear or shiny... something doesn't look 'right' to me.

Haha, yes, I believe it's also been called **** retentive by some. I'll check out the ebay auction to see what you're talking about. I think the outer edges are light or chrome. I'm also worried that the black ones are too black. I also wonder if the reverse lights part will look funny since its clear and not sloted glass like on the stock one. Difference being you'll be able to see the bulb clearly.
I'm thinking we need a guniea pig too. I'm too broke right now on Christmas presents to spend the cash on these. I'll wait until I hear success or failure. I've also had a really bad day with finding out members of the family are really sick and it's taken the wind out of my "spending sails".
For now, I'm a very quiet sad...

Wow. That is a total let down. *sighs*
I agree RAM... just not what I want on my truck.
I understand that some may want to change the 'look' by going to a different tail light but, some of us simply want the performance of a LED tail without the massive change in appearance.
First the set with the tumor on the side and now this set which was poised to be something that many would want... My $ will be resident in my wallet until someone can figure this one out...
I'm really let down.

What the heck???? Geese this really bites a big one!!!
So what happened to the idea of red ones that match the OEM coming out soon? I thought there were three versions, the clear, the black and the OEM red. What ever happened to that?
So the only things to come our are the black and the chrome?
Uh, why can't they ever get this right. If I could just make a set of these, I'd make a fortune selling to the people on here that want OEM look but LED performance and class.
You know what, I think I'll just look into making my own set. I'm tired of seeing manufacturers totally blow this opportunity.
