i know the difference between the amber and clear ones, but i just don't get why someone would pay so much more for a little more red in the inspire ones, instead of just buying regular red/clear ones

maybe im just not a brand name person, because i guarantee you, there's lots of parts that NO ONE would know what "brand name" they were unless they were into this or read the name on the part somewhere

I just think its a waste of money spent on something rediculous, which could go to use for something else

When I was looking for the red and clear tail light I could not find a good OEM Type S tail lights for the price i paid for my inspire tail light. I think it makes the ass of the car look better but that just me
