I like the clear. I didn't before until I saw it in person on a silver turbo s at the dealer. It looks special.

I just ordered some for my Dark Blue Metallic 991S a few days ago. Should get them by the end of the week. Will post pictures and impressions here. I've never seen the clear lenses in person.

I think clear on blue looks the best, saw it the other day. IMO dark colors go with clear tailights better than lighter.

I personally do not like them on any color.

Hey, you should try one of each! :-)

The clear tai lights can look sharp but they also vaguely remind me of the lifeless eyes of deep sea fish.

Not my thing, although I think they look best on white and silver.
And they look best when the lights are on, when the car is off, ehhh.
YMMV

Had my clear ones painted by a body shop with a tinted clear coat so they're smoked.

No issues with seeing the lights anytime during the day or night. They actually look darker in the picture than they really are

Clear tails on a white 991 makes the car look more exotic to me.






Clear vs White on White 991





My 991 with Clear Tails

Thanks for the pics, those tinted are cool and the clears with black emblems clean looking, I liked my old 997.2 clear lights because they had a red strip on the bottom of the light a little bit of contrast

Not a good look on a Porsche. They remind me too much of Japanese brands like Lexus etc. I don't like anything from Japan except Sushi.
