Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, there is an advantage to using a red bulb with a clear lens, like part # STL88RCB, over a clear bulb with a red lens. A clear bulb with a red lens actually causes the tail lights to have a pink tint to them so we don't recommend going that route. The best combinations to use are either a red bulb with a clear lens or a red bulb with a red lens.
