I like the red/amber ones, especially on Red or Yellow vettes. But the cost is stupid-high for these, so I have not added them to my baby.

Rice? No.

Solid red looks good too......on all colors, except red vettes, then the tail light red clashes.

GT HUNTER, some red SS inserts would look dead sexy on your yellow Z and would match the red tail lights great as well as brakes.

You haven't even gotten you sweet vette yet and you're already modding it.

Hey guy, if u like them then get them. I buy what I like and don't worry about what others think. Thats why its your car. I like it when I have something that no one else has anyways!

Whenever I read posts about people adding euro-spec parts to their cars, I wonder if there's someone overseas thinking, "should I get those cool US-spec solid tail lights for my car..." ;-)

Seriously, if you like the look, go for it. It's certainly an easy mod to undo if you ever change your mind.

Not rice, Euro maybe. Personally I have the good old stock red ones, I like the ambers and clears on other people's cars - just not mine. You know...to each his own!

That's why I have the Red/Clear which I think looks great on an otherwise all black vette. So what if it's Euro....tell me the non-popup lights on the C6 aren't!

There is an auction on eBay that shows them on a silver or pewter Vette.

I bought them for my black vert. They are the clear ones, with the yellow bulbs.

If you don't get the harness and extra bulbs, they won't work right.

I hope mine will come in this week.

Evie (wife) is still uncertain about them, but I hope she will be on board, when they show up and I get them on the car. She is one of those people who want to keep their car original. I like a little individuality.
