Why does it look like the lights for the clear section don't actually follow the shape of the clear section..?

Those are the old lights, before the changed the mold and light array for the internal part to line up with the clear area.

Here's my understanding of the evolution of the lights.

- The lights were produced with a completely clear lens for fitment
- A Photoshop was done to show how the red area of the lens would look when complete
- People complained that the clear area was too small
- The lens was then tinted red and the clear area was extended (on the lens only), to show the revised shape of the clear area (this is the version in the video)
- The internal part of the light was revised as well as the light array to line up with the new shape of the clear area (this version has yet to be seen as far as I know)

Later, Steve

I would like to get my hands on one of those rear bumpers without the warts! Would make it much easier to mount rear laser diffusers! Those lights might just be growing on me...

I'd be interested in a set of spare OEMs if they have intact mounting tabs...

Steve are you sure? I'm pretty sure exactly how you see them in that video is final production. With the improperly designed white section and all.

yes they are, i actually had to buy a new one 18 months ago when the plastic tab failed at speed!

$500 tumbling down I-5N (ouch).

PM me an offer on them, btw - I have a full set of LED bulbs in them already.
