I am going to change my sidemarkers to the deluxe style and just wondering what you people thought. Clear or standard amber and red?

shawno72 · 11-23-2011, 10:30 AM

Amber and red for me. Adds more class in my opinion.

Amber and red. Maybe clear on a white or silver truck, but still wouldn't be my first choice. On a black truck definitely amber and red.

LEX · 11-23-2011, 10:50 AM

Another vote for amber or red.

Indyuke · 11-23-2011, 12:06 PM

Amber and Red for me. Clear makes me think ricer wannabe.

JWall · 11-23-2011, 12:09 PM

Amber/Red again.

The only clear lenses I like on the 72's are the turn signal lenses in the bumper.

**special-K** · 11-23-2011, 12:12 PM

Amber & red,the way it was meant to me. When they are queer,I mean clear,they become something you wonder why they are there. When they are amber & red they don't make you wonder. They are just there like on all vehicles after '67. Why draw attention? Red on back,amber in front,and clear headlights. It's just the way it is and always has...except '64 Grand Prix

rsavage · 11-23-2011, 01:09 PM

See GMCPauls's post on clear side markers.

Amber and red.

Here is CA, and probably a lot of other states require amber/red.

**67cheby** · 11-23-2011, 02:22 PM

i am with everyone else , amber and red and i prefer the 72 (i think) the ones that have two raised areas on them with the stainless trim

big_al_71 · 11-23-2011, 03:00 PM

I am with the masses red/yellow

However I went with vabn markers!!!

SS Tim · 11-23-2011, 05:27 PM

Red and amber are the best bet. Now its just a matter if you want the standard, deluxe or van style.

You should look into Marquez Design's amber/red side markers! They are pricey, but they are worth it!

57larry · 11-23-2011, 08:33 PM

red & amber

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-23-2011, 08:34 PM

I run the clear but then agian my blazer is white..

HeavyD · 11-24-2011, 12:37 AM

Amber/clear for me as well.

**70cst** · 11-24-2011, 02:10 AM

AMBER & RED ...

Enough said ...

amber red

VA72C10 · 11-24-2011, 04:27 AM

I despise yellow lenses so I run clear in the front and red in the rear. On a darker vehicle I like them tinted.

fastwillie 696969 · 11-24-2011, 06:36 AM

i guess i say it too red and amber

Steve Hafner · 11-24-2011, 07:58 AM

. . . .

" Being different isn't bad . . . being BAD is bad "

I never even thought of putting red/amber on my white truck, I think they would stand out too much.

I would have used red/amber if I had kept it blue though.

. . . .

SS Tim · 11-24-2011, 04:35 PM

A little color can be good though.

OARNGESI · 11-24-2011, 07:55 PM

If theres that much snow it doesnt matter were the trucks at im not leaving my house

coops714x4 · 11-24-2011, 08:03 PM
