Black no matter the car color, it goes with everything!

for starters, i think if you want better opinions, i think you need to post up some pics of the car so we can see what you're working with. accessories depend on other aspects of the car (ex. lights, rims, calipers, color of car)

so with that said, i like things to go together on the car. as in, if your going to say, paint your calipers red, id say go for the red emblems, or if your going to leave stock tail lights, go for red. but if your leaving calipers as is, or polishing them, id say go black, or if you're going to VHT or cover the tails i'd again say go black. and you can always do one color on the back and something else on the sides. in the end, it depends on what YOU are going for with this car.

I like the black on your car. They would be color coordinated with your black paint & top, and your chrome wheels.

^im with john. i'd definitely go with black for your car. they will give it a nice clean look and really fit with the rest of your car. maybe some clear turn signals while your at it. but the car looks great as is.

while many people will say no to anything from ebay (many who have never even tried it, yet are still against it), i bought mine on ebay. i have gone through a black set of corners, a clear set, two sets of halo's, clear side markers, all from ebay, and never had any problems with any of them. and i always bought from whoever was selling them the cheapest, and still had a large volume of sells and good/perfect feedback. but i think some of my luck may be due to where i live. northern california. never gets too cold, never gets too hot. pretty good weather all year around. i guess if you live somewhere that gets a lot of harsh weather (lots of rain or snow) you may be concerned about quality. but still, all of the lights i've had have seemed to be pretty good quality to me.

I would go with black and just go with ebay on the signals. I bought mine for $15 and work fine.
