i just received the clear (white-out) lights from bekkers last night. candidly, i wasn't expecting white-outs--i was expecting the red/white stnd for 2001--but i am leaning towards installing the same, rather than sending them back. they would definitely individualize the beast.

Whiteout rear lights would look good on a Titanium Silver...
Otherwise, it looks a bit too toy-ish (Lexus like)...

LEDs, on the other hand, are COOL! They come up fast and bright.. May be I should get the red lights, but with LEDs..
