Default Smoked Front Parking Lights

Hey Everyone -

I'm seriously considering getting these for my '08 Vapor. I think they would look much better on this color than the yellow stock parking lights.

But, just so I can confirm my suspicions, does anyone have any pics of a Vapor/Tungsten/or any other close color with this mod?

Thanks All.

How about on Black??

I agree with you though... smoked would look very nice on Vapor.

I've got smoked turning/parking lights on my car. They look great on cars that have HID headlights because the HID cover darkens the reflector in the headlight. If you have the regular headlights, I think the clear looks better. JMO.

Looks good on black, too. The more I think about it, the more I see myself going towards the smoked lenses.

They seem pretty easy to install too. Is that a correct assumption? I installed the sequential tailight kit myself, so I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to this stuff.

I think you're on the right track with the smoked. In many pictures I've seen, the clears looks a little too bright. Once again it comes down to this simple question. Are marker lenses really something you want your eye drawn to and the answer is NO. The proper mod here is to make them blend tastefully with the rest of the car. Stay with the smoked.

Exactly was I was thinking. The yellow markers on the Vapor just look "out of place" to me. And the clear are alright, but they're just that....clear. A little too plain for my taste.

Next question.....What about stealth bulbs? Exactly what are they and should I get them?

Stealth bulbs. I've had mine in for over a year without problems. The corners are easy to install.
