why do people put spoilers on their cars?  why do people put alloy wheels on
their cars? or do custom paint jobs?  it's the look.. to customize and
personalize..to each his own.  remember the "blue dots" in the late 50's
'60's where people drilled holes in their taillights and put the blue dot in
and it gave the taillight a purple glow?  well,  colored/tinted/smoked/clear
taillights/lenses are the latest rage now.   even Hella (the people who make
the OEM VW Lenses) makes them in assorted colors for the golf/jetta, etc..
blue, green, you name it.  yep, green taillights.  go to a watercooled vw
show (or hell, hang out at the local mall :<) and you'll see what i mean..
