Patrick, That is very true, they are really only a display peice, but having tested several shades and gauges, the final ones have only a very minimal effect on the light output from the rear. Rest assured despite the 'not for road use' status I will be rigorously testing them before selling any. I am fortunate to have anouther owners car sat next to mine so I can do an exact comparison between betwen a car with the covers and without.
