Default I goofed w/ smoked corners

Well I F'ed up my ordering. I wanted to just get the smoked corner lenses. I will be going with switch backs for lights. Didnt want to do clear ( hope the light shines almost the same as clear). But anyway Im getting the ones with the circle amber dot. Does anybody have any installed photos? Google was no help. Im thinking that amber dot is gonna look out of place.

I got these and they are awesome and easily removeable. The light still shines through without a problem. It is not a sticker, it is a molded piece of plastic that has tabs that secure itself when installed. Great mod for the money.

^^ Those im sure are nice, but I was thinking either the smoked or clear would allow my Switch backs to shine better then the factor Amber lense with covers.

Well from what I understand that Amber circle is just there non fuction. You can see where the 194 side bulb goes. I can always return and get the all smoked or color in the amber circle. IDK does seem to bad. I never liked clear corners on red camaro's, doesn't blend well will the black headlight pockets.
The rear side markers are smoked and Im gonna smoke the tail lights.

The amber circle is going to look gay. You may be able to deal with it at first but eventually you will give in and want to change it lol. It just looks stupid. Do yourself a favor to begin with and get the right ones that you know you want.

LOL ahh you had to say gay. I've trying to picture what it will look like all week. Ill have them tomorrow. Worst case I send them back tomorrow. One side of me likes them then the other side says they look like Euro import side lense's. Only problem is Im not in any country from over there. lol

The only side that is saying you like them is because you CONVINCED yourself to like them because your stuck with them right now..

Its like being at a party with a mediocre looking girl and you don't have any other options because you've already commited so you try and find things that make it "ok." You know your not happy but you say **** it anyways.. or is that just me lol?
