Do you plan to do the AE mod to your headlights? If so, then yes, get the black ones, if not, go for clear.
Just my opinion, do what you want...

Thanks alot... I think i might just go with the Black ones.... and then do the AE headlight mod. the problem i have with the AE mod is that. i dont like how u do the corner lights black then u see the out line of the glue white lookin u know.. its not a TRUE black IMO... So do u think if just do the AE headlights it will look good???

whatever you choose make sure you follow it through. if you go with black, black out the tails, and ae the lights. if clear, clear out your tails.

i think either would look good on a black car.

The ambers actually look very nice on your car, but if you must, get the black ones.

I prefer clear on darker cars, I love the crystal clear lamps and sides with the clear bumpers. All black is played out (contrasting is the the new thing cuz I said) Do what you want though.

It's funny you say that because clears are kinda played out too and i wouldn't call them a contrast either. Stock orange or ebay's amber clears FTW...

Once you go black, you don't go back.

I skipped like the last 5 post but your car look good as ****. Clean. Nicely done, IMO Only black if your going to do the clearance lights and headlights.

If you get the black I would say use an amber bulb, I think the amber will contrast perfectly.

I have been thinking of getting those but have backed out numerous times. Something about buying the part I was orignally trying to get rid of.

If those R34 headlights fit, I may pick those up and do black housing clears. Otherwise, I may be going back to amber.
