Default Your opinions clear the fronts or leave them black??? PICS and POLL

Well I blacked out all the marker lights, DRLs, and the center brakelight in the spoiler. I'm gonna CETA the rear, get different rims, a WS9 outlaw hood and lower it. Do you guys think I should put clear back on the DRLs and the front markers or leave them be. I like this but I can't decide. I don't like the way the orange comes through the black at night in front. The back red black out do fine. Maybe I should just put clear bulbs in the front and leave them blacked out. Let me know what you guys think.

Altering your lighting is ILLEGAL...Probably all over the world, actually.

funny stuff, depends on where you are. I live here in Iowa, and have talked to a few police officers, they have said its not illegal, as long as it doesnt impair the lights themselves. Mine shines through just fine when you have the lights on, or hit the brakes, so its straight. Illegal or not, your not going to get hassled over it.

I think I'll just leave them blacked out, I've already went through the trouble and getting people on here to do the poll is like pulling teeth.

Here they are at night. This is an old post by the way I've had these for like 2 years never had any trouble, I like them, just make sure you sand them first and put a bead of black RTV around the lens to stop water from entering it. And if you haven't already, replace your bulb sockets. I did ever light but the tail lights themselves. If your going to do your center brake light PM me its a little bit of a pain.
