I've got them on my cab, and to be quite honest, I dont rate them at all. The "eye" is just a piece of perspex rod bent into a circle, with notches cut in it to refract the light emitted from the LED's. They are certainly not worth the extra ?30 they cost and had I have known what they looked like, I would have gone for smoked cross hairs on all 4 lights.

I never said I was unhappy with them, I just dont think they are worth ?30 more than a standard set of crystals.
I had standard crystal on before, but had a crack in one of the lenses, so I wanted to replace them. If I had seen a pair working, before I bought them, I wouldnt have bothered with them, and just bought Cross hairs instead.
You really dont notice the difference when you look at them.
