They don't look to bad, better smoked... But I still think stocks look better. With is-f tails stocks look even better, stick with the red ones... That's my vote.

i personally clear/smoked better than the stock red, make it look a bit more unique, but if it really is less desirable to most people then i wouldn't feel comfy with everyone looking at my car negatively =\, thanks for the honest opinion guys

The smoked ones don't look too bad but reminds me of a hybrid car for some reason. I'd stay with the stock ones though with red-outs or IS-F tails.

I have the same tail lights. I think they look good only on certain colors. The thread below has a lot of good info:

^^^ Agree with this one. Something about it makes it look like a hybrid of sorts. Stock or red outs if you are looking for a change IMO.

Black and red looks clean = Original
Black and White looks nice = TooMany IS's white car, black rims, black tint. EVERYWHERE
Black and clear...Looks awkward.
Black on Black = SICK!

Just my taste.

I wouldn't get them but if YOU do since it's YOUR car, I'd smoke them.

I've always loved the OEM ISx50 or IS-F tails. The other ones just don't appeal to me at all, but its your car so its all personal preference in the end If your gonna go with those tails, they definitely look better smoked.
