I'm not a fan of tinted film on lights, far too many tired ordinary cars in the UK have added spoilers, faux exhausts and too much tinted film on lights for me

I like the clear over red.

Well I was sent the wrong lights but it worked in my favor as I already have the clear on my 11 turbo S
and bought the Reds which I prefer especially on my black car

I prefer red, but mostly because the clear looks unbalanced. If they reversed the light from stock and had clear around a red core, that might look cool.

I am torn between the two types. Does it seem like the clears don’t have the moisture issue like the reds?

I do prefer the clear on the Sport Classic.
Kind of depends on the exterior color/trim, to my eye.

I just started a thread on repairing 997.2 taillights. So, in the event someone who has made the swap to clear and has a working right rear taillight (passenger side) accumulating dust in their shop, please let me know. I may need to buy one, and I would prefer a factory piece over the Uro piece. Thanks!

To me, the clear is trying too hard.

AGREED, AND I LIKE THE RED CONTRAST…

I used to dislike the clears. But on certain colors, it works well.
