Am I the only one that loves the look of the OEM tail lights?

I may add a 3rd brake light (turn the red triangle at the bottom on) to produce an "angry look" upon braking. Tells other drivers "you better brake or else"

I actually really like the "clear" tail lights the OP posted. I don't think the reflectors would be a huge deal. Coming from a BMW, many of the guys replace their reflectors with paint matched ones for a cleaner look. As mentioned though, obviously would need to be lit up a solid red.

Besides the FR-S, our Sienna SE has tails like these. There is a red reflector on the side, but, aside from that, they are pretty much all clear. Stock image, we have charcoal,but, you get the idea.

OK, so I was chatting with a Tc owner today that has clear tails that look very much like the FRS ones above. They light up pure red and plenty bright even though when off there is not even a hint of colour to be seen. She could not remember where she got them (the internet someplace) or who made them and though they had no branding on them they did have the DOT approval molded into them. She has had them on for 3 years and never been stopped (although she was plenty hot and if was pulled over she would just have to flick her hair and drive away).

UMMMM don't think so there Chao. In fact I can't find a single japan/European pic of clear. Maybe I am wrong but I just don't see that.
