Should I get smoked-out sidemarkers or clear sidemarkers on my BLACK 05 C230K SS with tints on all five windows? =)

check out the C-Class picture thread, and look at those who have clear, smoked, painted, & deleted sidemarkers.
You will get 4 different opinions from 400 different people.
So in the end, it's entirely up to you.

Do you want to be like everyone else and just be one more in the crowd,
or
Do you want to be unique and happy with what you've got !

I got the clear ones right now and thinking about going smoked ones.

The Euro strips are also an option if you want color match.

I would get either clear or the stock ones painted black to color match the car. I'm not really a fan of the smoked ones since they aren't dark enough if you know what I mean.

by painting em black, will you be able to still see the light when you turn on the headlights?
