Gen6 To smoke or not to smoke...

So, I've decided that I want to change out my tail lights...

Basically go with LEDs but I'm a little unsure of which ones to go with...I'm leaning towards the clear because of the colour of my ride but what do you guys think of the smoked on a silver Camry? Anybody have a pic of the smoked on a silver...

Here are the clear ones:



And here are the smoked:

Since you have a silver car, the clear would be better. It will match the headlights and be consistant. If you had a dark color car like myself (metallic gray), the smoked led would be better.

No he would not be stuck with the smoke ones (selling cheap to me ).

Anyway, I also vote for Clear ones unless it's dark color.

Clear with a silver car would look very clean and classy in my opinion.

I'd vote smoked, but specifically on a silver car, clear would be better.
