I don't see the difference with the new ones vs the old ones. Doesn't just jump out at me (even seeing various photos over the forum)

slight difference, the red "bars" are cleaner and the silver/white line is thinner. The red lens is a nicer richer red hard to describe. I will try to take night pics later this weekend

Thanks for the explanation. It's probably something more noticeable in person.

Phattbam, if you take additional photos, see if you can get some close up shots of just the lights.

With all the red bars and lens that you are talking about, does that apply to how it lights up or it that just the casing?

It's how the bars are shaped and I'll try to take better pics to display the difference
