Default Smoked or clear rear and side markers?

Hey guys, just wondering if anybody with a white 98-02 camaro has done smoked or clear sidemarkers and rear markers? Trying to decide which I like best, but not 100% sold on blending in or giving the car some more contrast. If you have some, what brand did you go with and what do you like or hate about them?

Any help is greatly appreciated guys, thanks!

I think clear would be best for a white car (thinking of doing this myself) but with you having the black accents, smoked might be better.

I know it's not white, but being silver it should give a pretty decent reference with the clear marker lights.. I do have the black berger done in back now and the wheels are gunmetal.

For a white car, clear depending on accents and smoked for dark colored cars, imo.

Thanks for all the input guys. Any of you have a certain manufacturer that you are partial towards with the marker lights? Definitely not doing the cheap eBay stuff and having to worry about it later on down the road.

I used VHT Nightshade on mine and they turned out great.

On white smoked out by far. Nothing looks better than a clean white car and blacked out lights with black rims and dark tints

Depo brand, make sure they have the chrome reflector in the back of the housing so they don't melt.

Clear. On a white car they will blend in and be clean. To me smoked would stand out and if you want it to stand out you might as well stay stock as it stocks out as well.

Thanks again guys. Looked up neondials on eBay and found them! Love the contrast on your stealth355tpi and looking like I am going with the blackouts. Will post up pics when they get installed, probably after my state vehicle inspection, just in case lol.

Then all you need is the whistler headlights to go with it and maybe the ss scoop decal. That should help tie everything together.

Are you using the depo lights, like in this link:

I agree with ya except white wheels on a white car look badass in my opinion ;-)

Also, love the smoked out marker lights ON white!
