New pics....
I'm glad I bought these signals, I think they look better than the ambers and way better than tinted ones would look. I really like how the black housed turn signals with the clear lens match the headlights.
Oh, and my badge I ordered last fall and finally put on. Please excuse the filthiness, it needs washed BADLY...

^as the car sits right now, i agree. the stockers just fit better.
but, if you swap out the ambers for some blacked out/smoked corners, than it'd look a lot better, and tie the front end together more (headlights, corners, grill)

and like you said, they really do fit very well with the headlights, being that tey are both black housing/clear lens, as opposed to vht'd signals. good choice!

Looks like you got the same black markers I did...do yourself a favor, while they're still new...take them out of the car, seperate the lenses from the buckets, and put them back together with nice black silicone, I didn't do this, and they started to leak and look like crap and I wound up putting my ambers back on.
Also, the black markers don't hold up NEARLY as well as stock lenses do to rock chips, so you might want to get some kind of clear protection for them.

How come this one isnt so dark? Is there something I need to watch out for when making it darker?
Oh and I shouldve said that whole damn car looks sweet! Best looking sixer Ive ever seen!

that car in that picture has not done the whistler mod, the front face of the housing is the only part that's black. check the first picture in the first post- https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...ter-my-ss.html - the person with that 35th either bought a set like that or just painted the front, instead of doing everything for the whistler mod.
the bottom of the housing, with the lines (i marked it in blue) should also be black with the whistler mod. leaving only the rear of the lights in the reflective chrome. check SKZ28's pictures above, you can see how much darker whistlered lights are compared to the ones on the LE SS
Sorry about the
