Default Tail light Identification

What tail lights are shown in the pictures below?

I assume they’re both the same? Probably Morimoto’s from Vette-Lights.Com?

If so, are they Clear w/ Dark Smoke Center or Smoke w/ dark smoke center?

I’m trying to see what looks best on my 2010 Cyber Grey base model coupe.

I have Eagle Eye, they are bright, to get the attention of the car behind me, hope to keep them alert.
I also 3rd brake light bright, and they flash 3 times before going steady.

Even the dark smoke Morimotos are significantly brighter than OEM.

My vote would be red lenses with light smoke. Not a fan of clear tail lights.


Light smoke


Dark smoke vs light smoke

Those look like the Morimotos I just installed. Light smoked lenses look really good on certain colors. I think they'd good on you car. Definitely not clear lenses. Here's mine. I know it's not your color but...

I agree, red lenses with light smoke would look very nice on your cyber gray car.

It is difficult to judge from the pictures as they are not as dark in person. At least mine aren't.

Left Turn Signal on

Lights off

this would be the gen 1 "clear / dark smoke center". I have the current gen 2 version of the clear lens / dark smoke center finish below for reference!

Ha ha… this is true. My next problem is deciding between the C7 style or C8 (GTR Carbide) style Morimoto headlights. Both look good to me. A debate for the future I suppose.

Gen 1 did not have back up lighting in the center, correct?
