Concur with Churchill...
Get Tore's LED bulb kit for front and rear parking, directional, backup, brake, tail lights. I added his amber bulbs to the rear directionals.
All original look, just brighter, and the amber rear LED directional bulbs shine bright amber even through the existing red lenses- not referring to his HID headlight kit.

I'm not a buyer, but I don't mind the updated rear light look. Modern take on a classic car. I prefer my originals, but not opposed to the imagination.

And I've never had a problem with the stock headlights (with somewhat fresh bulbs). Just my $0.02.

Yes they are terrible - except easy and inexpensive to fix with Tore's bulbs.

The Morimotos wouldn't be my thing because I try to use only factory parts on my car, but I understand why others might like them for the look and functionality.

I ordered front and back. I like modifications and the guntherwerks look. Can't decide between smoked or red taillights.

I did factory litronics upgrade years back and it was a great update. Satisfies all my lighting and aesthetic needs. No need to upgrade for me.

Thanks for sharing!
I imagine for this BTR Twin you still need a Turbo base, unlike the original which was made from the Carrera. Last I spoke with Ruf they still no longer offer an engine package for non-turbo.
For the tails, I guess they would look like this without the painted center:
