Definitely too dark lol. Maybe just the indicator/reverse light strip, I did mine on the auto and I've forever regretted the diminished light output. Dangerous if other motorists can't see you indicating.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

It's ment to be black. So it blends in with the back panel. The way the Euro'd vectra A boys do it. I really want a set of irmscher lights.
