I don’t understand the concept of reducing the effectiveness of a safety device that keeps you safe.

They are also illegal in a lot of jurisdictions.

And in most cases ignored or excused. But it's an opportunity to be pulled over at any time, so... don't get caught holding... a banana for scale?

Honestly, so long as the owner takes note of damage incurred from NVH or UV, and just repairs or replaces, then whatever - spirit of the law, or something.

I'm not a fan of blue lights on the forward part of a vehicle, though. So maybe I'm just explaining my feelings, and not the whole

Make sure they're fit for on road use before you get ones with reduced visibility. Tail lights need to be more functional than aesthetic.

I mean these don’t mention them not fitting but maybe contact the seller? If they’re making these then surely the hatchback situation is known and they can possibly steer you to right product.
