Rear Lights? Clear vs. Stock

I have a 94 accord, its white and i have the clear tail lights in them. I think they make it look alot cleaner and nicer, but they are also illegal although i've never been stopped. You will need red brake lights for them but all you have to do is pain the bulbs red with paint. You will have to repaint it every so often but its not too bad and its very cheap. just figured I'd donate my opinion here.
