Default Comparing 997.2 clear and red taillights

Put on my new OEM red taillights this week...replacements for the OEM clear lights that were on the car when I bought it. For anyone on the fence about what look they prefer, these two photos should help answer the question.

Obviously I agree red looks better...I'm happy with the switch. (BTW, the car was washed 4 hours before I put the new lights on. That was a couple of days ago...now there's a layer of grunge on top of the filth LOL. Another wash scheduled tomorrow.)

RED RED RED!
The clear lights make the lower red portion look unnecessary and out of place :P

as far as our relationship goes, I still prefer the red. It just seems like you're hiding less from me in that pic!
