i hear that every time someone mentions dark taillights. but i had my wife follow me (in the daylight) after i tinted my lights. she said she didn't notice a difference. obviously it will be darker, but the lights are plenty bright enough unless you're really going extreme. and the LED tails are so bright, they might be more distracting not tinted.

I will also chime in and say that if you're considering getting the halo taillights, think long and hard before doing the led ring mod. I ended up deciding on the 'stock' light ring and I think it looks like a much more uniform light than the bright points of light that the led ring gives off.
Just my opinion on it, but something to think about before spending the money.

OEMs... could not stand the horizontal reflector lines. It reminds me of the '80s!
Then onto LED Halos. I liked these lights until I saw them on another C5 and thought they looked too ricey. They look good when your lights are on, but when the lights aren't on and the outer-ring Halo isn't lit, they look stupid when the brakes come on IMO.
And lastly, clear Euros! This set of lights is a keeper! Very happy with them. Love the clear/red contrast, and the amber turn signals separate from the red brake lights look awesome at night.

Same car during the day. Same Halo LED tail lights with Clear/Crystal lens'.
In fact I've installed Clear/Crystal lens' and LED's all the way 'round...
IMHO your EB would look good with either Halo LED's or Euro Clears in all four positions....
Good luck on your decision...

Clear Euro's with RED LED's in the clear turn signal.
So that they blink the same color as that stop lights.

I know blackouts aren't everyone's cup-of-tea - heck, even I tend to get hot and cold
on them myself periodically but it's an easy (and reversible!) way to change the personality
of the car. But, if you're going to do it, these are the only way to go
(well, not the only way, but the best way, IMO
).
They look really good in the following photos but you really have to see
this installation in person to get the real "3D" quality look to them.
Installation was easy - just as if changing out to any other light kit and one
can easily revert to the stock setup just as easily if desired.
Here are a couple of before shots.
Black cherry blackouts from Corvette Enhancements
(Pay no attention to the sleeping Chihuahua in the background please.)
And on the C5.
These actually appear to allow significantly more light through than the stick-ons I had previously.
I know that's an issue for anyone considering blackouts and it certainly was for me.

The RED LED's that I put in the clear turn signal area are nice and bright red when turned on. They are totally clear inside the clear housing when off. You can only see the clear housing when the car is off. You can't see the bulb inside when the car is off.

i know, this thread is very old, but the two posts with the clear lenses, where do you get those, and how the heck do you get the old red lenses off?? i love that look and ive been looking to get some for a long time but cant find them.
