In opinion they are worth it, but just for the turn signals. I have them on all corners. LED's everywhere else!
It looks a lot better than looking at egg yolks.
Oh....and for the OP.........that was not a very smart thing to do. Please just turn the wheels one direction and then the other, you can get to them if you do that and you won't run the risk of killing yourself....as someone already said above. Not that you would have this time replacing just the bulbs, but what about next time when you are further under there? Go buy a low profile racing jack.

I thought I was seeing yellow in the tail light. I'll look closer. Oh yeah. So what is the yellow spot?

Easy.............I didn't re-look at the pics he posted, but I know if you are looking from an certain angle off to the side, you will see some small amount of yellow.

No worries............I wasn't being an @ss, I just don't wanna see you get injured (or worse). Low profile jack and jack stands FTW! Get them when you are able if you plan to do a lot of modding, you'll be glad you did. Car look good BTW!

Is there a little bit of yellow showing on the back of the bulb? Hmmm.

I'm not the OP man. I do have a jack, just was stating a fact but I didn't read the very end of your previous message.
