Default 2009 vs 2011 tail lights

Hi guys,

Just wondering which tail light set you prefer - do you think it would be worth upgrading to the 2011 set from the 2009 (yellow set) for $300?

I personally prefer the clear(pinkish) look rather than the yellow....it's worth upgrading if you can get a sweet deal

If you're just trying to get rid of the amber, a cheap alternative to look into are "red outs." It's a red vinyl that goes over the amber section making it red to blend with the rest of the tail light. The company Rvinyl is known for them.

2011 version is nice. Like everyone else has said, it all depends if you want to spend the extra money.

I prefer my 2009 to the clear signal lensing on the 2011. Seems though that I'm in the minority!
