The
clarity of these transparent window flames is
50 state legal according to the seller:

Yes, it takes some getting used to when looking at the passenger's side mirror but the driver's side is mostly clear as little of the flames are seen in it due to the fact it is closer to you. It took less than a day of driving for me to get used to seeing through "clear/blue" and then it was almost like normal. At night you really don't notice anything. For me at least--this is a NON-ISSUE--but, your mileage may vary. During the installation I thought of having the flames cut so no part of them would be seen in either side mirror but decided againt this as, IMHO, it would compromise the flame pattern by leaving a "hole" in the middle. One day when I decide to sell the car if the buyer doesn't like the blue transparent flames they can be easily removed.
