Default blue dot inserts in tailights

has anyone done this to a f-body?
im just curious cuz i seen a mustang last night with them done and i wasnt sure what to think.
from a distance the tail lights had a purple haze around them. it kinda looked cool.
i know it'll prolly look stupid on these cars cuz of the dot in the lens.

^^^ I agree, I had them on my 1970 chevy short bed truck & loved them but I don't think they would fit the style or shape of the 4th gen camaro.

It's cool on street rods & hot rod but it would be ricer on a modern car. It would look out of place on just about any modern muscle due to the designs of tail lights these days.

Blue dots aren't for late-models. That's a different era. Mixing the two is similar to those people who buy PT Cruisers and make them look like "mercs" with teardrops, visors, fender skirts, etc. Somethings just shouldn't be mixed.
