Default Clear LED's Tail Lights Coming? Whaddaya think?



Just found this while searching around. Probably won't be available for awhile. I see you can order them on the German car configurator. Dig em?

No thanks I passed on this option with my build. On some colours it might look good though. I quite like the red lens

I liked the clear version on my 997.2 but not these for 991. It looks odd.

Perfect for teenagers on used Toyotas with spoilers.

What's wrong with red tail lights, or amber corner lights for that matter?

I think I prefer the reds, even though I have clears on my GTS.

This always amuses me. People want change for the sake of change, not any particular aesthetic reason. For example euro 911 owners used to "upgrade" to US-version all-red tail lights; at the same time, US owners were "upgrading" to euro-version red and amber tail lights.

Always wondered the same thing... changing for the sake of changing.

I am starting to think my amber corner lights set the car apart from the other run-of-the-mill factory 911s I see around here.

I don't like them. Didn't like them on the 997 either.

I like clear side markers as the amber ones stick out like a sore thumb to me, but would not go with clear tail lights. It actually looks too plain; IMO tail lights should be red and the red/clear combo of the stock ones look "right".

In Asia they sell skin whitening cream. In the western world, everyone wants a nice tan.
