Sorry you are right oem, I was looking at dectane lights based on the OEM and wanted opionons on the two color combos, which one is more favorable.

Thank you

personally i think the oem clear taillight on a 997.1 would look pretty sweet.

i think the they are actually a new aftermarket product, as ive only see aftermarket red tailllights for the past while

out of curiousity has anyone rocked these clear dectane taillghts? i've seen tons of 997.1s with the all red dectanes but never with the above one. otherwise i may end up being one of the first 997.1's to try out these baddies.

not my car and i had these pictures saved on my computer, i woudlnt say they are the best quality photos to show the quality of these lights. i also can't tell if perhaps the owner 'smoked' these lights as they seem very dark compared to the ebay ad photos.

hopefully we can somehow get better quality photos of the clear-gts style tails installed. one way that they do differ from oem styling is that they dont have the thin red border surrounding the lights.

In the pics the tails def look tinted. I would like to get a look at another pic without the tint. Thanks for finding those so far.
