Whiteout - Taillaights Red thoughts (photo inside)

So i was thinking about doing the tails on my whiteout with a red overlay. Did this really fast, and was gonna get everyone's thoughts on if it looks good with the red. I had only seen some darker colors do it. I'm kinda feeling this though.

Looks way better. The tails kill the whole car IMO.

How are people going to know that you're in reverse?

I like the look of the red tails but i think the section on the inside corner of the light need to remain clear to maintain an OEM look, otherwise its too much red. There is a company that makes these tails in Japan that a vendor posted up on the forums somewhere but I cant find the thread!

I don't know why manufacturers don't just make tail lights red from the factory any more. Crappy looking chrome lights are easy to find.
