Default Preference Poll- GX460 Tail Lights

I've a 2013 Black GX460 Premium and debating whether I should upgrade my current red tail lights (MY 2010-2013) to the newer clear tail lights (MY 2014-2016)? I prefer the newer clear look but apparently it resemble the RX350 tail lights.

In your opinion, which one stands out- red or clear on the black GX460?

By the way, if anyone live in GA and want to swap tail lights or perhaps work out a deal, please let me know so I can avoid spending $700 plus for a pair of clear tail lights.

I prefer the newer clear versions. But it's all a matter of taste. No right or wrong answer.

I also prefer the clear lights, I've been keeping an eye on CL for a set from a wrecked GX.

I don't really have a preference either way, though I don't know how much I would like the clear lights with the more prominent reflectors in the bumper on the 10-13. The 14+ bumper/reflectors matches better with the clear lights I think.

I guess I also think the clear lights work better on the lighter colored cars like white and silver.

I agree, the reflectors are obnoxious on 10-13. I have a black GX and considered the clear upgrade, but I don't think it is worth the cost with my color. If I had a lighter color like the pic, I may reconsider.

Is the entire tail light assembly on the current (MY 2014-2016) all LEDs?

Nope. Turn signals (and I think the side marker light) are still bulbs.

I like the new trucks but I don't think the new lights are an upgrade.

They're typical mid-cycle refresh clear lights. Pretty common, almost cheesy how manufacturers do it.

I would not pay money to swap lights, but then again I'm a stock kind of guy.
