        change it back. the clears kill the looks of that car. Put clears on a civic or something instead.

          I like both, a lot, but amber more (because it's cheaper). The clears don't look bad at all imho, though I do understand the civic reference too.

            Only reason I don't like the clears is because they don't really match the headlights. If the housing were that blackish color that the headlights are then I think I would like them a ton better. Still can't get over how much I love the color of that interior, though...

              nah for me, clears cheapens the whole look of the car. The amber's fit and finish is so much better, has a stock appearance, and just overall looks better, not sure why.

                +1. If they matched the headlight shade they would look a lot better. IMO, the clears and ambers look about equal.

                  They look good. I too prefer amber, especially on estoril blue.

                  I think smoked would look great though, they match they headlights so much better.

                    ^^ That does match much better, doesn't stick out as badly. I'd still take stock though.

                      +1 for amber. So many E36's look totally riced out, the cars that shun that look stand out.

                      If you want to do something, maybe yellow fogs instead of blanks. Yellow ~ blue = complimentary and Euro look.

                        I like the clears better as I did the same thing to my e36. I like the monochrome look.

                            Looks better on silver, but still not feeling it.

                              Yup me to, I prefer the amber stock ones. However the clears on the silver one don't look too bad.
