</blockquote>Yeah, we always get hosed. No cool clear corners, it's a US DOT thing that they need to be amber, which usually bugs me but they look good on the Stinger, especially since they are led. I believe my 2020 gt has full led (except for the reverse lights) which I swapped to led. Apparently, some older models had non led turn signals as well, not sure what year they changed that, although the blinkers on the tails are a full boring yellow, instead of the Korean ones with the nice pattern that matches the front blinkers.<br />

Previous gen Korea Spec outer lights cost around 600-800$USD. I assume that when they come more available for the refresh they will be ruffly that cost to upgrade to visible led / sequential.<br />

You shouldn't care (much), that's generally my attitude with a lot of external cosmetic improvements. It's not like we stand around staring at our cars (if someone does they may want to reconsider / find better use of that time lol). Interior upgrades make more sense since we are living with that space for the duration of our drive time, same for drivability improvements.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the biggest benefit is the longevity of the LED lighting. We upgraded all our interior and exterior lights at home to LED for cost savings over time (greater efficiency) and longevity. My experience taking out rear lamps is that they're not as difficult as the front in most cases, but still not something I look forward to doing.</div>

The nine light pattern from the front is repeated in the back, albeit very subtly. When the blinker is going it does not put out a nine light pattern, just the single blaze of yellow. But at least the pattern was put there as a consistent design flourish (I wonder how many people even notice?).<br />
