The '09+ tail lights are sexy as hell during the night.

But, as someone else pointed out, the amber turn signals during the DAY look much worse than the '06-08, so you win some you lose some with the '09s.

A cheap $20 mod from aerotect called redout takes care of the amber. It looks 10x better all red. I know first hand.

i think some have referred to these taillight as the "aliens", and they look really sick at nite! seen a couple, and at first i wasnt too keen on them, but after awhile they grew on me.

Didn't like em at first, but they grew on me a bit. Still like the '06-08's better, with more of a subtle and stealth look, rather than a large in-your-face block of lights.

I like 09+. It took some time to get used to looking at but it's not that bad in person. The "swoosh" on the tail lights adds a little more design to it versus the 06-08 with just red outs.
