Here's what they look like on the car:

looks good, you should take some pictures during the day. ive actually been thinking about switching back to stock tails and doing something along these lines.
thats spot on what i did and i agree its the best looking tail lights for the mx-3.
the only problem i had is that over here in the uk, you can get on the spot fines for tail lights that dont flash orange, dull tail lights from over tinting etc.
I tried clear bulbs ( flashed pink ) tried orange bulbs ( kinda purple !!) then tried a set of ultra ultra bright orange led bulbs, and bingo shines through orange !! passes the yearly vehicle inpsection ( MOT ) with no problems.
