Clear lenses poll . . .

Just curious what the average C class owner thinks about clear lens on the lamps. I personally do not care for them all that much. I have noticed, though, that some here tend to switch them out.

Best regards,

CP

Do you mean the bumper/marker lenses? If so, I love mine. I think they match the rest of the car much better than the ambers. At least on my black coupe.

I think they look fine an white, silver, desert silver, and magma red. They might be alright on Bordeaux red. I don't like them on black or blue cars. It really isn't a big deal to me.

I think the dark colors look a little better with little color accent.

'02 C230K Coupe
Although I'm away at college summer school for the moment, I asked my sister to get the clear side-markers on my C230 installed, and she was so amazed by the difference she wants to put a similar pair on my mom's S500! She tells me over the phone that the white is a lot cleaner-looking when viewed from the outside. I must agree, because the front headlight assembly is clear, and having clear side-markers accentuates that. Definitely a recommended buy at <$30!

Quick edit: my car is colored Brilliant Silver, and my mom's car is colored Black.

I don't like clear corners on a black car either. I want some smoked corners. But then again, they don't exist yet, at least to my knowledge! Well, I guess I could get some clear ones and spray them with that tinting stuff, but I dont' want to go through all that hassle.

Thats what i was going to do...i didnt want pre painted lenses that shined amber....so i bought the clears and was planning to paint them black. but then it didnt look that bad,so i kept them clear. Now im fondof them since everything is clear anyways on the car.
