If Christian370z is happy with them, that's all that matters.

If I were to do something like this, I'd want them to be functional, like Audi. Those are super bright in full daylight.
Wow, you got me good!

That's not why I said to take it at dusk though. The camera isn't as precise as your eyes and doesn't capture the exact conditions. You can adjust aperture and shutter speed for example to make the picture seem darker or lighter. Taking a picture during mid-day washes everything out (overexposed) unless you really know what settings to use on the camera. It basically makes it hard to show contrast between lighting levels. The lighting conditions at dusk are easier to cope with than direct sunlight when the light it softer. Same goes for capturing the Audi lights.
