It’s a bit cringe, but all down to personal preference at the end of the day.

Mine came with these puddle lamps, just makes me laugh, and I won’t be spending money to replace them.

Yeah I'm still in two minds, however yours doesn't look bad at all, perhaps it's the logo on mine.

So these are what I went for keeping inline with my red and carbon theme...

This size is perfect for 35is exhaust, need to order 2! Take a couple of weeks to ship.

You can get different designs, sizes, with or without logo and matte or gloss finish.

I've had them on for a while now with no issues.

No screws or drilling, I used heat resistant glue to install 4 heat resistant rubber strips on the inside of the tips, waited 24hours to dry. then slid the tips on the the exhaust, it required a little bit of force to slide them on, but they are not going anywhere and they do no rattle, there is no movement. If you are worried about the rubber melting onto the exhaust, you can wrap a sheet of foil around your exhaust before sliding on the tips. I hope this little write up helps.
