Have a corner light out and I'm trying to decide whether I should replace the bulb in the orange corner or just get new ones in clear. I like the way the clears look but I've been told that the orange gives the car a bit of color and I was just wondering what the community's opinion on this was. |  |  | | 03-06-2010, 10:06 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Westfield, IN Posts: 1,335 | Clear
I would definitely get clears __________________ Greg

Check your local laws to make sure whether or not there are any restrictions on changing that sort of thing.
Personally, I prefer smoked over clear. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

Get clears- then you can fit in an look like everyone else who wants to look different!  This is entirely your choice, and nothing is more meaningless than someone else's opinion. If you like/want them, get them. Or not. When clear 'Euro style' turn signals became available for the E36, a lot of people got them for that new and different look. But they're common enough on E36s now that they are hardly novel. All that matters now is what you like.... __________________ *Except 318ti

I love the orange turns and sidemarkers, not a fan of clear or smoked. Euro tails look better than US though, imo. __________________ ~Dave~

Personally, I prefer smoked over clear. | Clears aren't DOT approved so they are illegal in every state, but most cops don't car if you have them. __________________ Greg
