Default Anybody know how good these red/clear taillights are?

I'm thinking about picking up new taillights since mine are cracked. Found a nice red/clear taillight but im not sure how good it is. Any input from fellow scion members will be appreciated

Depending on the bulbs you use, they can be pretty bright.

Yeah, you should be ok w/ the stock bulbs. I'm not a fan of the LED bulbs either.

I have them, love them. I prefer more clear, less red. More red to me doesn't look right.

I have a set that I got from Rush in Japan before they were being sold on eBay. I can't say for sure if their the same as the ones on eBay but I put the stock bulbs in them and found they were not very bright during the day.

Overall, I'm very happy with them.

Just don't get them from eBay buyer XRTeam, he'll charge you $30 for shipping and NOT add any type of packing materials.

I got a pair of broken ones and he claims NO responsbility (lets just say packaging consisted of a thin cardboard box and a VERY thin plastic bag for each light, nNO packing foam, NO bubblewrap, NO styrofoam peanuts...thats it for $30).

I'd say go with the LED type, thats the kind I got and they look MUCH better (and cost about $30 more).
