Nice subtle tint. Did you block you the reflector or is that tinted too.? Can't tell from the pic. Post a pic with them on the Vibe when you get a chance.

They're still very bright. It's the day time that people have trouble seeing. That's the beauty of the third brake light though. Plus most cars don't even have their lights on during the day.Looks awesome though! Wash your car dude
