          Depo's, Right side! I like the black kidney and Blacked out lights go well with color cars I think..

              Normally I'd say smoked Depo's. They are new lights as well so they freshen up the front end a bit. The problem I ran into is I didn't like how they don't match the foglights at all, so I switched to clear Hella euro ellipoids. I now have some smoked overlays for the fogs so I will be switching back to smoked Hella's soon.

                Well yeah I was asking about looks.. I got them really cheap brand new so I just put it on just to see what it looked like and to get people's opinion! But the more I look at them the more I'm leaning towards OEM look! Shoot me an offer I probably just sell them!!

                  I have real Hella clear smileys and Depo smoked smileys. I like both so I switch them up from time to time.

                    I like smoked smiley ellipsoids personally. Why are the Depos tinted blue though?

                        They'll look bluish if you have those blue H1 HID look bulbs in them.

                              All signs point to you liking the non-smoked, OEM ones...
