RED REAR LIGHT CLUSTER OR GAY LEXUS STYLE? Have your say and vote now
As above really, is it me being an Old git!! but I absolutely hate the MY06 rear "Lexus" style rear lights. Now I'm all for LED's but in a RED cluster.
Elmer has posted this pic which shows both (hope he doesn't mind me borrowing it

i think the hetrosexual red lenses are ok, although look a bit more dated than the clear gay lenses.

The red/clear ones look fine to me. I think the dislike stems from the association with lexus style lights.

I don't think you need a poll, to say that aftermarket Lexus style lights have made that 'style' too common and unpopular.
When Lexus bought them out, they were cool! But, now they are the burbery of the auto world and have been tarnished.

id have liked to have seen the MY06 released with clear and red crystal style rears, like the M3, or a crystal version of the MY02 STi lens, wouldve been much better than the lexus ones
the car on the left just wants the black bits clear and thatd be bang on for the right look

Depends on colour, for white the clear lenses make the car look like an albino
. I'll be keeping the standard lights on my WR blue MY06 tho.

Not a big fan of the Lexus lights now for reasons others have stated, but I have to say they do look nice with the white, I think the red ones would looked good on black or dark blue etc not shore about them on the white.

Never liked the clear lights, just too boy racer, but could never bring myself to change them since they still work.

I think the red ones look a bit dated. Although they work on the white cars....
