I got rid of all my smoked clear stuff as fast as I could.

Before with smoked Hella Smileys and clear/smoked turns (made TTY)

After with Bosch Smileys and OEM turns. So much better

All red tails are the bees knees on black

All that matters is you get what you like. Your not gonna get what the majority says even if you don't like it, are you?

i had some smoked stuff for a very short period of time, didn't like it, so i went with OE smileys and front/rear clears. Blk, narrow grill, silver wheels :-) i'm partial to the look
http://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-X8XX9WP/0/L/i-X8XX9WP-L.jpg, i don't go smoked anymore on any of our rides because i know i just won't enjoy it. maybe you will, you won't know until you go one way or another and have to look at it every day.

I had clears on my other E34s but am probably going to get new ambers for my red E34. My other E34s were black and silver so clears looked pretty good on those.

I have clear front corners and am contemplating smoked smileys as I have a set coming, but yes OP, do what fits your style. I personally like the clear on black, but not smoked. Makes the front disappear IMO.

Red tails are the teets on any color.

I like my smoked headlights and signals. I do have a set of clear depo smileys that I will put on in the future.

You can't go wrong with OEM ambers.

I think all RED tails look gross.

That color actually looks good in that pic. You should do a shoot someday with a decent camera (Says the guy who only posts pics from a phone).

I only have a phone too. My sister is an awesome photographer, but I would feel silly asking her to shoot the car when we haven't got around to getting my kids shots done yet. Don't think I haven't wanted to though ;)

/hijack, sorry op!

Be sneaky and put the kids in front of the car. 2 for 1

Depends on the color. On black I'd have amber, but mine is red and already had clear's and smilies when I got her, so I'm leaving it as it is. If I ever get the urge, I have the OEM lights put away somewhere.
