Glad to hear! I knew those would work out fine. So much for them being "worthless" ha!

You'd have to see them in person, in direct sunlight.

I have driven behind my car with sun behind us and even my LEDS, which are not as bright as what he bought can be seen fine. Not as bright as stock, but still visible, plus the instant on/off is a nice feature. They work even better on tinted tails. Hopefully Midnight will post some daytime pics as well.
