the clear ones look much better, you just like the stock ones because they are different looking, they don't look good though

yeah, i'm thinking that might be it... just different than what i'm used to

i hate how the clear ones light up though, the bulbs looks yellow and pink instead of orange and red... and with clear bulbs they look yellowish white.

I like the stock over the clear just cause it gives a little contrast

Normally I'd go with clears, but I think its different because your car is silver. With the clears it looks like your stock ones just fell out. In this rare case I think the stock looks better than clear.

I feel the exact opposite. I think the clears go better with your car because it is silver. On any other color it looks more as if something were missing.

I say clear. I dont like how the stock setup makes your car have 3-4 diff colors on it, where as with clears it looks like one uniform theme.

I actually think the color help the clears. The clears make the color flow better because it is similar to the body color. I do like how the tail lights and stock red side lights tie into each other, but the clears just fit in better IMO

Ive got a silver T/A as you know and have clears on the front, but stock ones on the back. I think thats the best look on our cars. Plus the pattern for the clears on the back look funny and are different from the fronts.

I did the same. Clears on the front and stock on the back, looks the best IMO. You can put yellow bulbs in to look stock at night, or white led bulbs to light up white.
