Clear or VHT tails?????

k its time for me to change up my tail lights which way should i go? I have a stock appearing red 98 trans am and i'm installing superbright leds in the tails.

I haven't purchased the leds yet so if anyone has experience with them i'd gladly take advice. I know i should go with red ones either way but other than that????

Also does anyone know where i can find how to do the clear tail mod? Pics?

Fortunately, it's an ordinary 2-prong electronic flasher that you can get from any parts store or even Wal-Mart. It should cost about $10-$12.

about 2 weeks now, im getting the ceta mod next week, along with black z06 rims. im looking for a way to get brighter lights though, during the day they are too dark. but im going semi gloss with the ceta, but debating if i should pay someone to professionally do it.
