Default Different Turn Signals

I was wondering what you guys thought about changing the color of the lenses for the turn lights and the lights on the back fender. I'm not going to change the brake lamps, I like the red. But I've seen both clear and black lights for the two I was looking at replaing. Here is an example.

Just wanted some feedback on the black housing with a clear lens or the semi-clear white lens. Thanks.

Yes do it! I love mine, the only problem I had with mine is that they weren't sealed great and you would just need to seal it manually. But they bring out the car a lot!

You got the matching front and back set I take it. And I see yours are clear. Looks good on yours being a black car. Nice contrast. Which is why I was contemplating black housings if I can find a matching set at a good price. Where did you get yours if I may ask? I know there are a ton of places that have them.

Yeah but like howarmat said, Stangmods and stealthauto sell bulbs called silverbulbs. When off they appear silver and then light up amber, so that you dont have that egg yolk look.
