Anyone Buy/Install the Clear Tail Lights on a Wagon

Just wondering if anyone has tried these and wondering how they look:

The rear of my wagon is my least favorite view by far and I think the tail lights have a lot to do with that. Also, probably the black rubber molding/weather stripping around the rear window looks hideous on an un-tinted window.

Here is mine as an example:

I've had this wagon for 3 years and I have always been torn over tinting. On one hand, I think it would look much better and go nicely with the color combo I have and what not. On the other hand, I think the closer to "clean" stock you can keep an older luxury car, the better. If I could get a set of nice OEM wheels for cheap I would slap them on in a heartbeat and get rid of these 19's.

I'd get them cause the orange is ugly, but I'd smoke out the clear part a bit to look like the first attachment.


Here, I put them on your car sorta and tinted the window....

Just get a 50% so it doesn't look stupid. Any sort of tint dramatically improves (IMHO) how the TE looks. When I see non-tinted ones on the road (rarely see any TE of course)....I always think it would look better with a tint.

I think IMO that looks 10x better. It still retains an OEM look, but makes the car seem more private and modern at the same time. I want to get my front windows tinted 50%...just havn't gotten around to it. All the others are done although I got no idea what % it is.

Mine is darker than that....but if you want to stay on the conservative side that should be perfect

You are riding on 19's right now??

Hey zorro could you chop my TE's lorinsor monoblocks on the 260E?? idk if that would be too hard from the angles....I'm debating if I want the 18" Momo's in the picture or the 16" Lorinsors on the TE right now...I think the momo's look a little too flashy.
