are these really "brilliant" how shiny are they? Or are they foggy?

Honestly, they look pretty cheap. They aren't foggy necessarily, however they don't look anywhere near what a real jewel might look like. Good for arts and crafts though!

I agree with the previous replies, they are neither shiny or dull. I would say they are brushed.

They are definitely shiny!!! I also have a matte set on my boat so I do know the difference:-)

No they are not mirrored just dark and they are not tacky black like tint but they are fog dark and people can not see your eyes. I like them alot

All I can tell you they are nice (really brighten things up) on cloudy days. At night they cut down on light glare from headlights/street lights but they do darken shadowed area more then clear lens. In town at night they are ok but not on country roads at night,to dark.

They are great! So much better than stock. They have a reflective back. The turn signals don't have a reflective back but it doesn't matter. I'd recommend HID's with them too. Looks amazing like that.

I've used them for deer season the past week here in PA and they are pretty darn good in my opinion. I had no problem with them fogging up in the rain or snow too.

I've only had them for a month or so they've been through a car wash a few times. I sprayed the pressure washer right up at them didn't see any water inside them so they are sealed very well. And as far as heat I'm in Tucson, AZ so it's been hot not our hottest yet so I can't answer that yet. They are bright as hell (borderline blinding).

I'm looking at them, and I'd say they are plated. Way too shiny. A magnet DOES stick to them, also.

I think they do well. They are pretty bright, not as much as some others, but the color is great and looks like HID. I am very happy with mine!

I've had them for about 6 months. They're still great!! I get tons of compliments on them! The only thing I've had to do is use the Coke/aluminum foil trick (for a little rust) in between the slot holes. It's not bad at all... I'm just very anal and like them being 100% shiny at all times!

Candy, all I can say is for me they're ok as I have no trunk light for my 'basic' and economical motor vehicle. They're not BRIGHT, just bright enough to see a little without hurting your eyes. It was cold when I 1st bought the light making the push on/off feature a little difficult (it got better with the warm weather, no real problem now). There's no rust etc so you can say it's ok depending on what/where it's used. Probably a lot better somewhere stationary and inside.All that being said; I can't really say, sorry and good luck. :-)

I would call them off white with tiny, tiny dark flecks in them. They are basically off white. I think they are great for the price.

They are more 'glossy' than 'matte', but not shiny-glossy yet nor are they flat-matte either. Sort of in-between. If you scroll over the pic (zoom in), it is a very good representation of how they actually look when light hits them.

In my personal experience, I had no trouble at all with the fog. Even when I had terrible weather while skiing. I highly recommend these goggles.In case they get snow inside, I suggest drying them naturally and perhaps using a tissue for the outside lens.

Not sure about them for an 11yr old and doubt they would fog up. I had/have none of the problems mentioned in the previous comment and found them very comfortable.

Not sure but I use them on lake michigan night and day and have not had any issue with fogging.
