Someone needs to improve 986 clear lights

Okay, so sorry to start another thread on the topic but I thought the topic warranted its own thread.

The one thing I always hated about the 986 was the headlights. Fried egg looks bad, but I can't say that the clear lights look any better.

The problem I have is that the "cleared" part is so dark. It looks as though the light is busted. Actually, what it reminds me the most of is a burned-out flash cube. (I'm sure we're mostly all old enough to remember those )

Sorry to steal your car's photo, conradtan, but it was your thread that got me thinking on this. I did a quick and dirty photoshop application to your car. I think the clears would look so much better if they were as bright as the rest of the headlight.

What do you guys think? And by that I mean what do you think about the lightened clear area that I mocked up, versus the stock version. I am not trying to discuss personal preference of amber versus clear.
