Sacrelidge or not?

I'm afraid I can't get on with the clear lenses?

Would putting red ones on be a bad thing?

I think red rear lenses look much better on light coloured cars, and clear lenses look better on dark cars, just my opinion.

Don't know what colour your car is.

Very much personal choice on this.

Some of us have mentioned in the past, a preference dependant on body colour.
I like clear on black cars, but feel red creates a good contrast to some of the lighter greys.

You certainly should be able to easily find a set of red lights, because most owners seem to be going the other way.

I couldn't agree more - I love the clears on my Mako Blue car and that's all that matters smile

The jury is split on this. I actually tried to spec red on my factory order S and failed (they wanted to send me down the Q route rather than just do a NCO so I gave up but in retrospect I am really happy with the clears)...

Big fan of the reds! Swap them over - the reds are dirt cheap on Fleabay, but keep the clears for part-ex (as advised above) I reckon.

I would buy the clear lights if they are for sale
