where are you from orlando? here in the Philippines, this thing always happen. though
now, the government has done something about this. before clear normal frosted tails.
now in major cars like civics, lancers, and corollas, the trend is having crystal type
head, turn and tail combination lamps. though i think crystal type tail lamps are much
better than clear frosted lamps. because these crystal type tails have transparent
lenses then have brake lamps covered by another red lens. though still turn lamps emit
white lights, these are much better replacements than the aftermarket clear tails. now
carmakers in the philippines decided to update lights of their models to these crystal
type head, turn and tail lamps. it is still better to stick with original or stock
lapms than these aftermarket lamps. they are more durable and they are safer.
