2010 rear lights

Can the 2009's be changed out to the 2010 clear lights? What is involved? Any other differences between the '09 and '10 MY cars?

rsctuning.com offers the replacement lights. The cost of the clear lights factored into my decsion to purchase a 10 over an 09.

If you're referring to the clear tail lights, I think I paid about $1,600 at the Aston dealer to have them installed on my '07.

I really do like the look of the clear tail lights, but $1600-$2200 are common prices I've seen on them. I know they look cool, but at some point you've gotta step back and realize how insanely expensive that is for tail lights, considering what they do. In the end, its art, so prices arn't really rational.

Are you kidding? We're talking about Aston Martin here. The prices have nothing to do with rationality or reason.

Well, considering the discount on the '09 at this point, upgrading $2,000. for new tail lights isn't such a bad deal.

That looks good Ray.. I'm still thinking about installing them on my midnight blue 06', but i'm not sure how they'll look.. Either way, it's a refreshing upgrade!

I think that they actually look better on a darker colored car, as the contrast shows them in their best light, IMHO
