The red gives it more of a contrast.

I personally like the red tails....and the clear corners.

I dont know how well the blacked tails go with the green. Maybe try clear?? Let us know what you do.

Clear tail lights with some LED bulbs would look sick on some of the darker color paints.

Oh and sorry I meant the reflector corners, not a big fan of the clears, the cheap chrome painting just takes away from the headlights and parking lights.

I ended up doing a restore job on my old red tails, Wet sanded em down, 400 grit, 800, 1500, then 2000, polished up with compound and plastic polish then gave a fresh new coat of clear, Well actually 3 coats to give it a nice wet look. Check it out.

I liked red too in my OBS cuz is all blacked out! I actualy wanted to candy them. BUT i just ordered AVS headlight covers. Think I might do the rears too. Then that means I need to tint my 3rd brakelight and light bar!

Black is beautiful. Black is better with green then Red IMO! Your truck...you do your thing.

HaHa I am still running the stock corners, just added a LED to the tope reflectors.

Went from stock to clear to the reflectors and back to stock. I would just throw some clear on yours, but that is just me.

I wouldn't go clear, then it would look like a beaner mobile. (No Disrespect intended, I just don't know a more PC way to say it)

I like the red better than the black. Bow Tie looks good but no the tail-lights.

18W of CREE LEDs is super bright! Already have the 7W LEDs in the back up lights so it should be more than plenty haha
