Default .2 gen LED Clear taillights vs Red

what you guys think of the LED clear taillights vs the Red ligth on the 997.2.

I do like the clear, but the majority of the 997.2 owners don't like them, I might exchange mines for some clears

I like the clear....I have them in my car and it's all personal taste! I don't care what everyone else thinks!

Obviously biases, but a dark tint on the red is sharp! Especially on a black car.

Here's the comparison on a lighter color (Platinum Silver Metallic).
I actually like 'em both, maybe the clears better on a lighter paint?
Although, I opted for red on mine (top shot). Purely subjective.

I like the reds by far. Hate the shape of the clears.

I don't like the clears one bit, I think it cheapens the look of the car.

I much prefer the reds. But it really is personal pref. Leader, you made the right choice. Your car is awesome.

I prefer the reds, but might consider the clears on a silver car. Trouble is, many Lexus and Subarus have the clears, so it is starting to look a little gimmicky to me.

I prefer the reds, more symetrical. The clear ones don't look right especially on the cars with the central red reflective strip across the engine cover.
