Clear lenses

[Todd Young <tyoung@wamnet.com>]

I have seen the ads for clear marker/tail lenses and thought they would
look nice on the right color vehicle, but two days ago while driving
home from work I had the oppurtunity to drive behind a Honda with clear
tail light lenses. First problem, it was a dark colored car and the
clear lenses stuck out like a sore thumb. Second problem, when she
stepped on the brakes, I could hardly see any lights! This was a sunny
day and all I could see were 4 points of red light where each bulb was,
and they weren't very bright. I thought to myself, she's going to get
rear ended because someone won't be able to see her brake lights. At
night they may show up nice, but during the day, look out. I think I'll
stick with my normal red lenses.

I've seen some clear lenses that had the red lense underneath and I
think that would be much better. The ones on this Honda were all clear
with just red bulbs behind them. The red coating on the bulb is probably
what made the lights so dim. With the red reflector behind the clear,
and then using normal white bulbs, the light would probably be
acceptable.
