Camaro tailights preference

Bosse'sBoss · 09-17-2022, 02:42 PM

Hi Guys,

Which Camaro tailights do you prefer:
'16-'18 Camaro tailights (the ones on the red Camaro)
-'19-'23 Camaro tailights (the ones on the blue Camaro)

I prefer the ones on my 2017 ZL1 but I see nothing wrong with the updated ones on the 2019s and later.

My 21 tail lights are clear.

I'd prefer sequential turn signal lights on the gen 6 but i can't find anyone that makes them. There are plenty out there for the gen 5 but nothing that I have found for the gen 6.

I prefer the 16-18 if they are dark/clear. 19+ if red

Cyrus · 09-17-2022, 07:35 PM

Dark 16' - 18' taillights all the way !!

We have a 2020... But I do prefer the earlier lenses. I dont know how they are to clean but the 2020 lenses have a lot of facets and nooks and crannies...
No big deal but extra care to clean. And a bit clunky in comparison.

i asked my wife. she knows NOTHING about cars. she has no idea what the car was.
2016 model she said looked better. to get an unbiased opinion it's always best to ask someone that has no clue.
for me i think the refresh look like swimming goggles.i cant un see it lol

goata8 · 09-18-2022, 12:57 AM

I prefer the new ones but in red...not into the clear/smoked look.

JoeCamaro444 · 09-18-2022, 01:30 AM

16-18 black…but I like the red and the new design enough, as well.

Camaro fanboy · 09-18-2022, 01:57 AM

it wouldn't stop me from owning the refresh though..

You are showing the worst possible color combination (red A on red B) for the '16-'18 taillights, which I'm sure is skewing your results. Pasting a pic of either red or dark taillights for both designs against roughly the same paint color would be much more consistent.

I voted for the old style but the redesign isn’t a deal breaker. I thought they reshaped the lower rear bumper and I prefer the older style as well.

Hmm, I actually like the red tail lights better on the 2016-2018 red colored car. The blue car with the newer red taillights doesn’t look as good…too much contrast for me. I could easily live w/ either though.
