Clear lights really do look great, however on these black on black AM's with the red calipers its something I think I would really need to see in person, and have a comparison. If going clear on the tail, I do think the side markers must be the same also, smoked of course. Interested is seeing the OP's smoked Red side markers. That might make the difference. On this DB9 its done, but the red doesn't stand out as much, that is due to the silver wheels. So that is what is causing any controversy I think. I am looking at a 07 triple black with red calipers too, so its nice to see an example.

I wrapped the edges in gloss black vinyl and unless you actually inspect it from within 4 inches, you would never be able to tell. Here's one of my pictures showing the result:

Damn! That looks phenomenal! Yes, I agree that would really complete the look. I need to get the car in for fresh clear bra on the hood and new headlamps so may have them do this to the tail lights. I will post up pictures when I do this! Thanks for the idea!
