The vehicle is a defectable by not having two, AND in this case as pictured - by having the lamp units built-in reflectors 'white' (white-optic/neutral return), must be red.

White-optic reflectors are reserved for front of vehicle application only.
Keepleft, exactly what is your story?

I disagree. I've added clear indicators to the front to remove the ugly amber. The red on the taillights looks good though. It's just the amber I don't like. If there were aftermarket taillights with the amber replaced with clear but the red staying the same, I would buy them. I hate those fully clear ones. Also, I've noticed when the lights are on, they look pink. I was also following an EF with the fully clear taillights at night recently, and the taillights looked really dim and hard to see. At night the standard ones are a lot easier to see.

I think altezza's should be left to the jap imports driven by Uleh and his cousins. Personally i think they look cheap and nasty, even the new BA style ones.

Yeah the EF clear jobs look **** house, if they came out in black for the EF they might looh alright. I reckon what BigAl said they look **** on rice too. Bloody hell it's unbelievable how bad the styling taste is of some of those rice drivers eg. big glass bodykits little chrome wheels is a shocker that comes to mind.

I do not understand why people want to change their rear lights. Most of them look like an afterthought and I believe some of the designs may not comply with Australian Design Rules.

These are the ones on my EL.

I think they look prime with the silver on silver. Makes the rear end look smoother.

I've seen the same taillights on diff coloured EF/EL. And they don't look as good.

Let me know what yas think!

I haven't had the moisture problem on mine-

I like the look on some cars and colours......but like beauty, its in the eye of the beholder.

I just wanted mine to look a little bit different that the other thousands of xr's around.

exactly!
the problem is that some people don't understand about individuality-because the narrow minded only think that what THEY do to THEIR cars is acceptable. honestly what's wrong with just saying "nah, i would've done it differently"? all the tools on here who have to bag people out just because they have a different veiw on things need their heads read.

i love cars and want mine to be an expression of my individuality- otherwise we may aswell just all drive boring white camrys ( no offence intended to people why actually own and love a boring white camry).

if you don't like it good- don't do it to your car! pretty simple really.
