Default Keep them or no?

I bought an extra pair of front corner marker lights to make them red. I dont like the smoked or clear lenses look...so i thought I'd match them to the rear side markers.

Might be illegal, but nevermind that....do they look ok or? I cant decide if I like them or not. The running lights and signals show up red now, not pink. I sort of like how they go with the color of the car...



LMK what you think.

They blend perfectly. But I don't like to draw extra attention to myself. Police love to bust people for little things like that.

I like yellow. That's me. Red is better than clear. Good choice. F#ck the police, I'd leave it alone, If I had to change I'd put it back to yellow. -Joshua

Not bad. But you will have a problem with the police. I'd just run with it, until you get busted!

Not too bad, but maybe you'll just get a warning the first time you get caught.

Thats exactly the look I am going for . Cheap? You mean $9.50 cheap? lol...thats all it cost to try it. It cant look any cheaper than orange. I dont care for clear becaus eit looks like someone ran into the car and broke out the lenses.



Yes, I did them myself.

Thanks everyone.

I was sort of thinking of doin that to mine, but I have some clear ones ordered hoping they'll bring out a little of the polished accents I have on mine.

I think its kind of neat looking. If you get tired of them, they are easy to swap back for sure!

Not enough contrast IMO. I like the clear/smoked look just because it normally offsets the base coat and helps to compliment that. Not that it looks bad, but it just doesnt appeal to me.

And w/ the police question, as long as they're transparant enough to transmit light thru you should be ok. Even w/ clear bulbs (altho that could be a problem depending upon how tight your local PD, troopers are) as long as its emitting light it should be ok.

I think clear would look better on red.
