I have the taillights in black and in silver ordered me because I could not decide me right from the picture. When I got the tail lights and these have compared me immediately noticed that this look in silver Endler and quality as in black. I think it's all his taste what he chooses, but at a Laser Red A4 fit precisely the silver better. The connection is not a problem, it must only 2 cables depending on the model year and configuration of the vehicle to be replaced. At night, I think the color is not entscheident as all cats are gray :-). The brightness is very strong and what makes her. The taillights are very precisely and the gap dimensions match the original taillights. Whether silver or black everyone has their own taste, but all have in common a top price / performance ratio.
