I'm not really that worried about the law dogs. I want something that both looks good (and the clears look better IMO) and are safe (yellow and red are natural warning colors). So maybe the white will reflect at night, then since I'm pretty sure it won't reflect yellow or red (like highway lane markers at night, if going the wrong way) I have a tradeoff decision to make (saftey, when parked versus looks).

My whole car is bright white.. if they can't see that, I doubt they will see a 12 inch reflector.

Anyone got a picture of the clears on a Vista or Sonic Blue? I would be interested to see a side by side comparison of clear vs amber.

My 1000th post!
Actually 67s has no side marker lights, federal law mandated them starting in 68.

I love the look of clean corners on most colors (like white and especially black) but I don't think they would look good on sonic blue. I'd like to hear some opinions on this. thanks guys

HadAStang did a photochop for me. Here is a pic for anyone that wants to know what they look like on a Vista Blue.

Thanks for the pic. I don't think it looks much better, if at all. Just not worth it to me right now. I like the blue with the orange look, I am a Gator afterall.

I think they look a lot better than the amber ones. I definitely need to get the stealth bulbs though. They were a breeze to put in... took about 30 minutes.
Did you have to pull the bumper cover off to get to the lenses to replace them, I think they would be neat with a clear running light and yellow side light, just my thoughts.........
