clear indicators - opinions?

[cro320]

Some of my friends told me that I should buy a pair of clear front indicators.
I can't decide by myself, upgrade or not, so can you tell your opinions about this? Would you go for them?
This is picture of my car in front:


Thanks guys!

black car = smoked

I agree with Daz, on a black car smoked look cool, though clears on black can look good too. I would always go for either smoked or clear on just about any car, if you want a clean co-ordinated look the standard orange lenses just don't go with anything. On mine I'm seriously considering getting those silver bulbs for the indicators just so that you can't see the orange bulb through the lenses.

Bit of a Laurence Llewelin moment there, but i just prefer a more co-ordinated look than you would ever get with orange lenses (unless you have an orange car)

definately ,either clear or smoked for your dark car.a cheap and easy mod that brings the look a bit up to date

If you're going to smoke the indicators, you really need to do the headlights too, in my opinion.
If not, just go clear...

smoked vs clear

smoked vs clear

Both look good, but bear in mind that on the clear one, everything is the same... whereas the smoked one, the indicators blend into the bumpers and the foglights aren't there, just the black covers...
All clear, or everything black below the headlights...

the man speak-a the truth

If you do go clear, get silvertec bulbs - they're the future!

orange sucks balls

indeed, in my case clear ones should be proper because I have foglights.

Your car though cro.
Just my opinion that smoked indicators with clear headlights and foglights may look naff.
May work if they're dark enough to blend in with the black rubber of the bumper though, as in the second pic... Wouldn't show up much until you use them.

Black car got to go smoky, what the feeling with other colours?

[love30]

smoked...im thinking of getting smoked repeaters and indicators for my silver e30....

Got Royal Blue with original chrome bumpers, what would look good

Again, your car, but in my opinion, I would say go clear.
May be insufficient black in chrome bumpers to make the smoked work.

Orange every time . Orange is the new clear.

tonight matthew, i'm going to go clear....

[snoops]

smoked!

[Gortour]

smoked!

Still reckon for smoked, you need a dark coloured car, with smoked headlights, and preferably smoked fogs too...
otherwise, I say go clear... Only my opinion though...

Im with B7 I thought I was the only one who liked orange lenses! I think they suite the car and like the 'boiled sweet' look.

I know its a pesonal thing. Does every thing need to be modded? Makers nowadays are almost ashamed of orange indicator lenses and some go to extreme lengths the disguise them - I think sod em, im proud of my E30 and how old she is, so its definaltey orange for me!
