In the 80s it was all the rage to get amber 'euro' turn signals. Then it was smoked, white, and now LEDs. I'll just stick with what the factory gave me, I can't justify spending $400+ for something that won't improve performance or reliability

That's just me, I won't criticize anyone for doing it. If you've got the money, go for it. It does look nice.

I like LEDs (always have) but i dont like the solutions offered for the Box. If i could get FULL Led brake light setups then i would but all i have found are combo ones.

my solution is im gunna put transparent (no reflection) vinyl and it does a good job of covering up the amber. I do like amber but i definetely like red-out tail lights more. and for only 50 or so bux. it is worth it to me. im thinking of doing that to my side blinkers too... not sure if it would look wierd or just... illegal.
