Personally I don't like them...I haven't seen them on a Max, but I can imagine how it'd look. I've only seen them look so-so on a couple different domestics. But at least the blackout covers one head/taillights are better than just painting over them with some spraypaint! Just my .02...

Had em on my '96 black stang GT. Left em on for a month...didn't like em. Too much of a pain taking them off at night...cause you can't see crap when they're on there.

Those covers are dangerous when driving at night.

tonight when i was driving i had to take them off because the only light was coming from the fog lamps. They definitely suck at night. but they pop on and off so easily its not really a problem.

I had these on my Mustang, besides being illegal, they suck at night. My car was black, so the look nice, but why you would ruin an awesome set of lights like the 2K2 HID's with this piece of plastic, I dont know !

What kind of bulbs are you using in your bumper signals? I'm just wondering if LEDs or bulbs will even shine through them, since they're such low wattage as it is.

They look ok because your car is black. IMO they won't look good with any other color.

I was actually asking about your front and rear bumper corner lights. (Not headlights). How well do they shine through at night, or in the day when they blink?
