Go for fully clear ones.
not a fan of fully clear lenses :P
im starting to dig the orange. i need to find a drivers side one, then imma roll with that and see how i like it.
if i eventually get painted bumpers, door handles and mirrors imma go back to clear bumper lights so it looks more sophisticate... kinda like in this pic:
And these sidemarkers with amber bulbs
It's the easiest thing in the world to make an OEM clear lens completely clear. Remove the lens from the light assembly. There's an amber "filter" that clips around the bulb to make the white light amber. Remove it. Replace the clear bulb with an amber bulb, and you're done. Total cost: FREE! Though I'll bet you can buy them for $20 plus $50 shipping on eBay...
If you're going clear, I recommend a pair of Sylvania Silverstar bulbs, which are amber bulbs with a coating on the outside so that you don't get the ugly amber reflection inside a clear lens. Here's how it looked on my Saturn:
The light assemblies are nice and clear all the way across, rather than clear headlights and clear-but-amberish turn signals.
oh oh ok.
yeah i know about that amber insert, but thanks for the tip man!
about "euro" stuff though... the EDM bumper lights were the same as the USDM ones throught the different years. so this is pretty much a preferance thing now :P haha theonly issue i have with the orange bumper lights is that is looks a bit too deep and "old." i like the ones turbo-teg has/had though on his, they were aftermarket oranghe ones that had more of a shine.
WOah!
Who makes those please?
They are the same as the OEM CRX VT side makers, but clear!!
(BTW, I have tons of these in orange)
BTW clear on weekdays, and amber for when you're feelin saucy.
