Anyone have an Indi Blue with clear taillights?

I am trying to decide between doing them smoked or the clear ones, and can't see it in my head..... Thanks.

I was thinkin the same thing. I like the OEM clear ones on many cars, but I just don't know about my indi blue. Also I have been a fan of black background clear lense. I would love to also see pictures.

i do, here is a pic...wait i think i sent this to you, did you get my pm? or am i confusing you with someone else?

that is with the lights on, hence the red at the bottom, i drive with it like that to remain legal cuz i didn't install the ugly reflectors in my bumper that you techincally should so that something is red at the back of your car, one cuz they are ugly and two you have to cut your bumper, so as long as i drive with the lights on all is good, it is like manual DRLs

With blue...I'd DEFINITELY go with the clear tails. Doesn't even matter what color blue in my opinion. The clears would look GREAT!!!

oh yeah i forgot: i also heartily recommend it for indi blue, i bought an oem kit from out motoring and installed it myself, was really easy except for the 3rd brake light, it tends to be tricky to get it out from under the cooper spoiler all other spoilers it is simple.

one of the few upgrades that even people who wonder why i spend money on such things really like

also looks much better in person than in that pic, i am gonna be an MOTD if you want to take a gander

Yeah, that's pretty sweet. But do those ambers look pink only to me? I am a manly man driving a MINI, and pink lights would never cut it! Otherwise, looks great on the car, and we will probably see each other at the Dragon.... Also, had no problems without the reflectors they "require?"

i don't know if i would call it pink, more of a pale orange and the tail lights are a pale red. though this is just from memory my car is in storage till may 1. but yeah we should be able to find each other at the dragon for you to get a better idea of what i am trying to say, i am staying in a cabin in fontana (arriving thursday afternoon)

as for the reflectors, i have had the lights on for about 10-11months and have had no trouble with the police and i am 10-15mins from the whitehouse so there are tons of cops around. i just remember to run with lowbeams on

i have also smoked the side reflectors which could be questionable except for the fact they reflect light the right color when light hits them, otherwise they are camoflaged in with the bumper so still legit
