I just got mine in today! Only took 10 days. Funny thing is I have checked the DHL periodically and it is still saying the package hasn't reached the destination country yet!
Pics to follow.

I noticed that mine were a bit 'foggy' in the clear 'reverse' section of the light since day one when looking at them from a certain angle. I do not thing it is the condinsation, rather than molding or plastic that is being used. It really hasn't bothered me at all.

I could check all lights except the reverse light, since wife doesn't know how to drive a stick and I wouldn't want her trying the reverse for me to see the light. It may just be the last thing I see...

Is the reverse light a regular bulb?

Also found out the left and right parking lights are activated by using the turning signal stalk. What? read the manual? no way...

I do not think that such representation has been made regarding these lights. I too was taken back at first by this ever so slight 'foggy' look in the clear center, but I think the lights are still great, work good, and can be had at a good price. I made peace with it after about 45 seconds of thinking about it.

Interestingly enough, all the other parts of the light are all crystal clear.

The plastic used on the exterior of all the aftermarket lamps is of lesser quality than OEM lights and I think the price reflects that. It will scratch easier and not be as optically clear. it will also suffer from UV damage in short notice so be sure to protect them with a polish ok on plastics.

Just put the car in reverse with the ignition on - you don't have to start the engine to see the backup lights.
