The red gives it more of a contrast.

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

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 ****** 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.
