To deamber or not to deamber, that is the question i have been struggling with.
So what are the best replacements? LED? All red? Are the smoked lights nice? For side lights, are there "clear" and "crystal" side lights or are they "crystal clear".

Those are the LEDs I have. I love them.
Very OEM look and they are very bright.
And easy to install.
I recommend these 100%

Has anyone got any Pics to post of the rear LED lights turned on and on the car? and at night (or is that just asking too much)?
I am undecided whether to upgrade my 986 Boxster's rear lights to LED Red/Clear or the standard Red/Clear ones.
Thanks

A5
Has anayone else had an A5 Audi come up behind them? The parking/accent lights, whatever they are in the front are awsome!
I don't know if they're on all the time like VW used to do with headlights, but both A5's I've seen had them turned on.
When you see one, you won't forget it.

the oem marker lights are smoked. I suppose some of those on ebay are clear though.

before you buy a "smoked" taillight on eBay ask the seller if the lights are DOT approved. I bought a set and the seller "forgot" to disclose this little fact to me :troll:

I like the 550 tail lights which are mostly red. I am against deambering the front cause the spattered omelet just looks bigger then.

yup all those you posted look like crap.
stick with the oem looking clear or smoked, or go 550 route.
i have mine done 550 style, for only few bux, looks great
