I recently bought some 'Lotus Elise' clear rear lights.
Like these (bottom pair)

I went for these after much consideration. They will have LED bulbs in them.

Watch those LED bulbs which claim that they are 'a direct replacement' for standard bulbs. They are fine if you are directly behind the
car but a few degrees either side and they dissappear due to their narrow viewing angle! They are laso practically invisible during daylight (bent
rear end to prove it)
The new designs with 32 led's seem a little better but beware.

i'd be a fool if i didn't say the real SVC LED lights.
they're far and away the brightest, most visible lights on the market atm, mainly because the full area of the light is illuminated
not cheap, but far cheaper than repairing a rear ender

Definitely agree - I saw them at Stoneleigh and was very impressed with them. They do a stop/tail, indicator & fog. As Indy says, not cheap (they
even do a clear reverse which costs about £80 IIRC  ) but the others are at least affordable.
It is about time that technology caught up with the lighting on vehicles - the idea of passing a current through a coil of wire to make it white hot
seems quite primitive in comparison to the led units.
I have bagged a pair of a new design 'replacement bulb' from Hong Kong and I will post my findings when I eventually get them. A novel
design ....

zzrpowerd-locost,
My lights were from Mac#1 and are completely clear lenses with just a slight smoke to them. With LED bulbs they appear completely clear, or with
normal coloured bulbs you can see on the pic they do show orange and red.
