LED Tails Idea...
Anyone else besides me wondering if the new LED style tail lights would cool if they can in Red/Clear or Red/Amber? Any vendors have insight on whether this has been explored? I would get them for sure... I really like LED's (anyone who knows me can confirm this), but I like my red/clear tails. Just some food for thought...
What does the rest of CF think? TIA...

I'd be interested in the red/clear if the price was reasonable. The LED lights do look good.

Not to hijack the thread but I would love to see a vendor come up with LED front turn signal lights similar to the sealed Halo design but in amber and sealed LED rear side marker lights.

I've got the led taillights on my car and they look awesome. I would imagine the red/clear or red/amber combo would look just as good, if not better. I wonder how hard it would be to retrofit an existing led kit?

I didn't vote in the pole. I am thinking of doing flush mount euro tail lights in the rear and white DRLs in the front.
I think everyone has their own ideas and different things work for different tastes and cars.

Thanks for the input guys...
I'm hoping someone in the field would consider doing something like this...
You gotta love the brightness, immediate response and longevity of LED's... and don't get me wrong... I love the halo look, but I really like the two tone not only for the separation from stock, but the fact that the blinkers are a different color.
Hopefully we can see something in the future
Thanks again all
Dave

I've been thinking about what it would take to do this for a while... just trying to get the ball rolling. I know I'd be all over a set if someone came out with them.
