Blacklines - Any different in the dark?

I see lots of pics of blacklines in daylight but do they make any difference in the dark? I'm guessing not because noone has posted nighttime pics.

Thought I would ask before purchasing some though!

My car wont know what's hit it, new alloys and lights in the space of a few weeks!

At least you can't see the fat bird in Will's picture

On serious note though, they are exactly the same at night as the standard units.

I think my question sounded dumb.

I meant does it alter the lighting cluster at all e.g. the layout of the lights/brake lights when on. I figure the answer is no because no bulbs are switched around at all.

The upper lens is just toned clear. the indicator bulb is a orange bulb with a silver film finish
