    yeah, the clears look good on your car. especially since you have the green one and the 88-89 bumper.

    keep the clears, but smoke em a wee bit. that'd be best. your right, they are a little bright right now. i've cleared mine, but the lense is a little pitted so it isnt too bright and works quite well imo

    the clear has kinda grown on me haha like usual i dont like something at first but then it gets better lol... though I still like the idea of smoking them a bit.

    I got some orange bulbs and i'm gonna try and see how they look tomorrow

    on your car pico i think the clear with silvered bulbs looks real good but they seem to stand out too much on mine.. i think maybe the orange bulbs might help things but even more i think smoking them to match the way the jdm corners look will make an improvement.

    Exactly.

    I think they look great! but I think with the color of your car amber bulbs and maybe smoking them would LOOK GREAT!

    I think the clears look great on Pico's due to the color of his car, but on a darker green they kinda bright IMO.

    Frantik, I like them clear... but I like the stock corners better
    Maybe the clear corners would look superb if you smoke them ?

    I say smoke 'em if ya got 'em, but I'm biased. Here's a before n after:

    .
    Both corners and fronts are cleared, smoked and have clear bulbs now.
    Fronts are lightly tinted compared to corners.

    looks good did you paint them on the outside or did you open them up and do them on the inside?

    Just the outside. No clear coat, so they're looking a little worn by now. I'll just call it a satin finish.

    i tried the orange bulbs but they're too orange lol i'd rather go with stock

    the other bulbs did kinda grow on me.. im gonna use them after all still wanna try a lil bit of smoke though. I was thinking of doing it on the inside though then i have to deal with taking em apart and putting them back together again :\

    I think it depends on the color of the car. The lighter the paint, the better clears look. I think they look great the way they are.

    I actually like the orange bulbs better, but I'm weird like that.

    Re: Cleared my turn signals - need opinions :)

    was bored today so I tried out something with the niteshades... instead of smoking the lenses i smoked the orange reflector:


    I also smoked a lense, though it came out kinda purple and uneven :\

    stack of clear, smoked lense, smoked reflector
