[RedCamaroZL1]

I have to agree with the OP. I've gone back and forth about the dark tail lights as well. I love them on every single color EXCEPT the 2 reds. I like them on red, but don't love them. If they have come standard, I would have left them in. But I don't want to pay extra on something I'm unsure about. HBM and KG I'd have bought them before the car even came in!

Is there a market for the stock red ones? What do I do with mine after i swap them?

[2K16SummitSS]

I had my stock reds tintcoated by a friend who runs a body shop here in town. I think it looks as good or even better than the GM darks. They don't have that weird clear look in certain light like the GMs do.

My car isn't red, but you get the idea...

There is a market for the clear ones so I'll save my red and swap them back on the next upgrade.

Yes... have seen them in pics, have seen them in person, reminds me of the tuner fad to get clear lights everywhere, they just don't do it for me on the ZL1.

No clue what a tuner fad means and don't have a ZL1 but on Summit White these lights flow just fine on a SS or ZL1 IMO -

I thought the same thing until I saw a red ss with them driving around town - they look way better in person.

Like you said, IMO. They look like the cheap eBay lights people used to buy for their Acura Integras, I have a Summit White ZL1, prefer the stock lights, IMO, they flow better to each their own, it is nice to see some others also don't find them all that appealing

Now, after having had them on for a month or so and seeing them in real life, I can honestly say that IMO, they do not look good on Red Hot. On the other hand, all of the black accents of the ZL1 look amazing with this color. It's the gray tones of the lenses that don't look good.

Absolutely disagree, love mine

Okey dokey then No reason to be sorry buddy, (IMO) Majority of the people who have Camaro's / ZL1's ect i feel would beg the differ but its about what you like and prefer. I guess the GM ones some of us have look like cheap Acura Ebay lights, i can live with that....

Add a touch of business IMO.

Thanks for this photo. Regardless of which one each person prefers, it is very helpful to everyone. For myself I prefer the stock reds. Even in the photo the clears look like someone broke your tail lights. Definitely nice on a white, grey, or possibly black car. I like the blacked out tail lights on red...not so much the clear ones. If the red ones were solid red, then maybe I would go away from them, but with the white back up lights section, it makes them look better.

I will say that I disagree with in regards to the red lamps on red. I think if any color that will still look good with the OEM red lights is red hot. Which was why it took me almost a year to get the dark tail lights.

After seeing every other Camaro with the red lights and seeing the darks in person, they just look so badass! The black, gray, clear whatever matches all the black accent pieces as well as the black rims/tires.
