This is a great idea. The only reason this isn't a win for everyone would be the trolls and people triggered by them.... 'these look great', 'these look just as good as real bricks' etc etc.

These don't look great. But they do look plenty convincing, especially from a distance or in motion, and they don't stand out enough to detract from an otherwise decent-looking car. (The horrible panel fitment of most S-chassis actually helping in this rare instance.)

It seems they are better than the real thing in every other regard besides aesthetics, so forgive me for only talking about how they look.

Now if only drifters found out about this before running 3/4's of the world's brick supply into the wall....

EDIT: I suppose there is also an element of gatekeeping... folks not wanting these 'boutique' parts accessible to the masses.
But honestly, this is what makes these particular lights so great... while they are convincing, if you care, you will absolutely notice they are not the real thing. And if you decide that bothers you, then you can get some real bricks for your car instead.
In fact, you'll have less people to compete with to find a set, since all the folks who weren't bothered will be rocking Silverado lights. win-win
