I saw these cool tail lights at a local car show. Anyone know who makes them?

First time I haven't agreed with you Polo. Wouldn't like to see the whites shining in front of me.

I don't really get all the bowties. Just clear lenses with red bowties. Where they actually flush in the lens, cause they just looked like they are attached on top.

If they shine white to the rear then they would be illegal - at least in CA.

OMO, guys leave the standard lights GM engineers put on your car in place. They designed this car to look as good as it does. If they thought shinny pieces of chrome or bow tie emblems would of looked better in your taillights that is how they would of built them.

I thought it was a law that tail/Stop lights had to be RED, or at least shine red when ON. I never liked those clear lens and chrome things anyway. They always remind me of a Japanese toy.

Maybe they use red bulbs, that would make more sense. My car came with tail light louvers that I removed, I prefer the stock look myself.
