OSS owners - Blackout vs. Reverse Blackout

I can't figure out the difference from all the pics posted. What is the difference? Close up pics would be great if you have them.

Also, are any of you doing the LED corner retrofit and amber delete? Or are you buying your own LED replacement bulbs and coding off the amber?

Edit: Please also discuss your long-term results. Still happy? Any issues? If issues, easy to obtain warranty service?

Ive read about different versions.
It would be great to have a listing of these differences for each 3er model also.

Reverse blackout is where they paint the chrome beneath the turn signal. Original blackout is where they paint about the signal. I'm looking for better closeup pics of the difference, as the pics I can find don't show the difference well.
