Question 997.1 All Red Tail lights

Hello everyone. I'm starting to get that modification itch, and was thinking of changing my tail lights to the oem all red tails. I've been searching, but cant seem to find any pictures with them installed on a 997.1 in meteor grey. Anyone here have pics of their car with these installed? Thanks in advance!

I just ordered them for my car. I should have them installed early next week. Here's a photo that might give you what you're trying to see (I'm not sure if this is the exact color that you asked about, but it's close):

Thats a hot rear shot.

Not sure if I like the full red taillights. Think it will depend on the exterior color. I.e. on a black car it will work.

I scored a second hand set a while back. That picture that Dennis posted convinced me to grab them.

That pic is awesome. I originally saw it when Ray S posted it. It convinced me to give the solid red lights a try also!

My friend is about to upgrade his reds (2009 997.1 TT) to LED. I can ask if he wants to sell them ??

All-reds are classy on everything, IMO, but it seems the same effect could be had using film. It's such a subtle change for $500.

The OE red tail lights flash amber for turn signals and the reverse lights are still white. I'm not sure if a film would accomplish this or not...

They remind me a bit of the tail lights on the 968, as well as the Carrera GT.
