its channeled directly downwards like the first picture.
bulbs hidden from just about every angle.
tho i do have MINOR tweeking to do to them... im just gonna buy some larger diameter L channeling to put around my current U channeling cause with my silicone on the bulb ends it holds them down just alittle bit and you can see the square ends of the tubes cause they site down further

minor tweek tho! it still looks preaty decent as is.... and its still somewhat summer so i dont drive that much at night to have them ON..... cannt wait till snow hits
then ill realy have some nice glow pictures reflecting off the snow
