Default Clear or black side marker lights?

I have a white TA with polished aluminum wheels. Do you guys think clear bumper or sidemarker lights would look good or should I go with Black ones?

It looks good on your car but you also have black headlights to go with the look.

I say clear. (you can always tint them later if you want.)
