To make the red triangle housing to clear lens will be very difficult. This is because the light housing is made with red plastic and clear plastic. I can see how tinting the clear lens red or even putting in red-coloured LEDs a viable solution, but then the red lens cannot be converted to clear (opaque).

I have a very bright LED for the reverse light and I can PM you with more details. It basically lights up the ground and the rear end area very well. Because the BRZ/FR-S has the reverse lights mounted low to the ground, it is highly recommended to get the brightest LED reverse lights possible to see better at night, especially when it rains and you are in a poorly-lit parkade or back lane.

Please check your PM. =)

I live in Hudson Valley.. and all the roads are so freakin dark here.. I think it would definately make the car more visible in the rain/snow/fog..
