Completely agree the 2011+ tail lights are expensive and you've already got them ! just change the bulbs and be done with it.

The 2011+ tails don't have the orange turn signal covers so no need to red it out
Just get some chrome 7440 bulbs for the turn signals so you don't see the orange egg yolk under the sun

I think I'm the only one who find this mood useless, The turning signal suppose to be orange.

Turn signals do not have to be orange, they can be red, my purpose of putting the overlay is to get rid of the white area, wanted a more red tail light. I think it makes the rear look cleaner, but thats my opinion

I know the are legal both red and amber but it one of those "only in america" thing. Everywhere on the globe the regulation calls for amber only. I find them easier to distinguish from the tail and brake lights. I especially hate the cars that use the same break light for turning as well. very annoying. It's really a mix in here as the majority of import cars comes with amber and US manufacture comes with red. it's not for me.

And a pink tinge to all the clear parts, not a fan.

Then according to you any cosmetic mode is useless

Front turn signals are allowed to be amber or white
Rear are allowed to be amber or red

No, just this and I explained why. It's only in america and it's very confusing in traffic. amber is very well visible and pop immediately but then again this fac#$% floridians don;t even bother to use the signal, redout or not.

the "redout" option was always for the 06-08 2nd gen taillights that had the orange blinker, once the taillights switched to the clear blinker you no longer needed them because clear blinker looked better then orange , and all red looked better then red/orange, but red/clear is the best because thats how the ISFs taillights were when they arrived in 08. I have a 07 so i got the redouts from "rvinyl.com" are they still around? well anyways i got them in 06 for my 07 and still have them on to this day ...7 years later still look good.
