o true, i didnt notice that..

you know, now that i think of it, the clear might be better bc of the chrome wheels, and what not..

but if your ever htinking about blacking out the tails.. or just smoking them, then black the side markers.. so they dont clash.. with that color.. you wont even know the side markers exist..

i cant tell they are there and mine is grey with black tinted side markers.. only when there lit up i see them.. so on your black, it would blend completely in..


actaully.. i change my mind.. sry.. bc your car is black.. tint them.. it will basically be like deleting them till you turn you lgihts on..

OK, my signature picture has been updated so you can see the clear corners. I think I'm still leaning towards tinting it cause I'm leaving the tail lights alone.

PS - sorry for the thread hijack

Oh, no, the fronts are definitely being left untinted, I'm talking about the rear side markers. I can't decide between clear w/ stealth bulbs like the front or tinting them blackout style so they all but disappear.

Very easy, turn the wheel to the side you are replacing, take out a few screws to pull back the fender liner and they're right there just clipped in. The passenger side is only slightly harder in that the washer fluid bottle is there taking more room but it's still pretty easy.
