>>While there's no argument the clear ones don't hamper the light, there's millions of ricers out there with them, as JivanIvan pointed out. I, for one, don't want to do anything to my car that'll confuse people into thinking I'm part of that group!

But in defense of the white-outs, they are MUCH better looking than the cheap aftermarket lights... and when's the last time a ricer has been accused of buying high quailty merchandise?

Where I live the ricers in the Hondas, Nissan Altimas, and Lexus IS300s all have Altezza lights which are silver with smaller red lenses. Nearly no one has all white rear lights except for MINIs. Hard to confuse when there is nothing to confuse it with.

Overall there is nothing wrong with the stock red rear lights. And in most cases it matches the car color no problem.
It's just if you want to be different and customize your look then this is a place to choose to be apart from the rest.
