To be Clear, or to be Amber, that is the question.
Awhile back, when my aunt ordered front marker lights for my b-day, they cam in mixed accidently. And, due to the collective procastination of my dad and I, their still here.

Clear is stock on the '69s man.

Re: To be Clear, or to be Amber, that is the question.
I think the amber looks better and will hide fogging of the lenses better

Re: To be Clear, or to be Amber, that is the question.
I am going clear on the lights on my 70 (72 bumper with the lights in it), but i really like the orange lenses on your truck. Looks clean with the truck color. Plus, as mentioned the clear fog easily. One way the clear looks better is to buy the silver bulbs that blink amber, then you don't see the yellow bulb through the lense which makes it look like the lense yellowed

Re: To be Clear, or to be Amber, that is the question.
I think the clear ones flow with the bar in the grill better, the orange ones just look like big squares sticking out at ya

Re: To be Clear, or to be Amber, that is the question.
Changing the subject slightly, the state you live in decides which color is legal. I'm not sure what Texas thinks, but you might want to check...
Since they came with amber lenses and possibly orange bulbs, that's pretty much ok anywhere, but don't give the boys an excuse to pull you over. Last edited by 72lb4x4; 03-21-2008 at 08:29 AM. |

Re: To be Clear, or to be Amber, that is the question.
Amber is legal. Amber (to my knowledge) is legal in all US states in the front.... Kinda better be, all new cars use amber front signals
