DEPO Lights - Clear vs. Black??

Ok so has anyone installed the Blacked out housing DEPOs for GEN 3 yet? I plan on buying my set of DEPOs this week, but I dont know which ones to get. Ive been planing on the Clears for a while, and I personally think the blacked out one will make the car look too ricey....like a Sentra or Maxima...eww. So anyway....any thoughts on this subject? what should I get?

Black would look good if there's contrast (ie. white car with black headlights). I have black ones btw.

He meant are you converting the front to a Gen 3, because the DEPO lights won fit on a 1995-1996 Camry.

I say it all depends on the color that your car is.

I know about the Conversion. From what ive gathered from people, its the grill that is the issue with the headlight conversion because the lights are different....something about you can make it work if you shave the bumper and or grill. Im gonna buy the lights and make something work.
