Here's an extreme close-up of these Clear Alternatives turn signals on a Titanium XX.

Is that tail light the LED one from Clear alternatives? How is the visibility compared to stock? Can people see it well from behind? Thanks WantXX

Yes, it's Clear Alternatives LED (from John01XX also). It wasn't as visible as stock by any means, but it was decent.

Sorry
I saw after I replied that you removed them and went to stock for better visibility. I really like the look of the clear but have no desire to get rear ended by someone not paying attention.

I will throw in my .02

The standard LED taillight has two round 45 LED clusters inside for the lighting. The LED's are very directional so it gives off plenty of visiblilty from the rear, but almost none from either side. Drivers directly behind you will have no problem seeing your tailend light up but when in an ajoining lane the visibility is reduced significantly.

A big improvement to the taillight was when Clr. Alt. developed the LED taillight with integrated signals. The new design is a larger flat board with over 125 LED's that cover the whole taillight on the inside. It is a much improvement but unfortunately also a much higher cost as well.
