Thumbs up For those concerned about Yellow Bulbs w/Clear Tails?

In case you were wondering if the yellow bulb is visible through the lens when off. It isn't.

It was $400 for installation of Sways, Springs, and Tails and I didn't use the harness cuz I got the Jens special. For self-installation I would definitely recommend the harness.

The drop pics are coming soon.

Those are the special tail that when they get warm or hit the sunlight they are all red, but when cold they have a yellow strip on them..

Yeah, funny right. I have a Sony Mavica which shows the pic in the screen as soon as you snap it. So right after I took the picture, the lights on my screen changed to yellow.

I guess those reflectors are angled differently than the bottom porion and it is just how the flash hit them.

If you look really close you an see an image of Mother Theresa.
