I am not keen on them myself but they would look better with the mirrored bulbs used in the rear lights to get rid of the sunny side up egg look.
The flat printed ones just shine brightly in the bulb area because they lack the lenticular feature, they may appeal to some but not me.
A worthwhile mod to the lighting is the use of the flashing unit for the HMSL. This flashes slowly at first and starts rapidly flashing and then remains a solid bright red. It certainly catches the eye and could save you a nasty rear ender. I have had one on my car for years now. They are cheap and easy to install, I got a couple of spares and never had to use them. There is a thread explaining the installation process by GreyGhost.
