Summit white owners with Oracle sidemarkers

(Ghosted side markers) I installed mine today and while I can say I am amazed at how good they look at night I am disgusted with how far off the color is. From 20 feet you don't see it but in any kind of lighting other than direct sunlight they are very cream colored and stick out. Maybe they will grow on me but at this moment I was expecting a little better for the color match :( What are others experiences??

If you are happy with how they look at night you got me beat. I have a bunch of back glow its crazy. They did slowly try to work with me, but it never got resolved as you can see by the pics below. And yes, my color is off also, looks like mine has yellow mixed in. The daytime pic of the color has proven to be impossible to get for me.

I like my "Ghosted" after having them reworked

Backglow is the nature of the beast with White - I am okay with it.
It has been my experience that there are (up to ) 5 different "shades" of Summit White.
When I received mine from AAC, they were the same 'White" as the front bumper but, like yours, had a yellowish tint as well as bad Orange Peel and dirt specs in every one, hair in one and you could see the "Ghost" strip in all of them (shallow paint in the groove)

A quick trip to my painter fixed all of the above,
Wet-Sand, Spray the correct color, Wet-Sand and Polished to a mirror finish... you know, to look like they should have from AAC !

Pics below ...

Very little back glow on mine, left front has some but nothing to get upset over. I will try to get some pictures up later this afternoon, the thought of having to pay another $50-$100 to get them the color they should have been from the start does not sit well with me
