Default Clear tail lights

Swapped out the clear tails on my car for stock. Thought they were too "blingy" on this car. Just don't look right. What are other people thinking about them?

Personally I think it depends on color of car. Sapphire blue for me with red calipers so I'm leaving tail lights red to match. However, on a white I'd change to clear before I ever rolled it out the garage. What color do you have?

I hate clear tail lights.
My TTS has them and they look great on it.

I swapped the red tail light to clear and at first I couldn't make up my mind about them. After a while It grew on me and wife loves the clear. She says why red like all other cars, so clear it is. I listen to her. I don't think I will change back to red.

Agree. I think clear works pretty well with silver or white. On a red car like mine, I like that the red taillights blend in to give a monochromatic look.

I'd consider the clear tail lights if there was a matching clear brake light on the rear wing.

And maybe a matching clear set of bumper reflectors.

Y'know, so everything matches those clear LED sidemarkers.

Clears look great with certain colors.
