Clear tail lights
Have had this bookmarked for a little while:
Ford F-Series and Bronco 87-96 clear tail lights
Though I'd share it, I know some people are looking for these. I think I'll get a set when I paint my truck black.

I used to think those tail lights looked kinda cool, but after seeing how the look when the bulb lights up, I'd never get them. They end up looking pink and dim. Also, they are totally illegal. I have known a few different people that drove for 2-3 days and got cited for them on both Ford and Chevy trucks.

Federal law mandates that all rear facing lights used for marking a vehicle/braking purposes, need to have a certain % of the light, a red, reflective material...
That's why I got the ones I did....DOT Officers, etc aren't so apt to jump me...lol

That is why you need a QUALITY LED bulb. 2 of my truck have those exact lights and they are brighter than stock. As for the red reflector, I have not been bothered in the past 10 years about it. Now if my trucks were some ragged out POS, or driving like and Idiot I could see getting hassled

The clear tail lights look good on a black truck IMO.

You may have a good point about the type of bulb being used.
Regardless, I'd never buy them.
For some reason the only aftemarket lights I like are the clear parking lights that match the factory headlights and side markers. Sometimes I actually think about putting the stock amber lights back on the front .
