Opinions on side marker lights for a 2009 C 350

Hey Guys,

Hoping to get some opinions here. I have both clear and smoked side marker lights for my vehicle. It is a 2009 C 350 in Palladium Silver. I was thinking the clear side markers may not look right since my paint is of a darker shade, so I got the smoked. Now I can't decide. Hoping some folks chime in with opinions to help me decide? Thanks for any feedback.

Maybe if you posted pics it would been easier to tell but to blend in with ur car color i think smoked will be a good choice buy hey anything is better then those ugly orange garbage lol

I personally don't like the clear look. I have an iridium silver and tinted my stock ones but didn't like darker contrast. I just installed some smoke ones and really like them. I think the clear ones look too shiny, but that's just my opinion. Install one of each on opposite sides and see what you think, it's only like a 5 minute process. Look for some pictures on here, there are plenty of people sporting both.

I went with clear side markers. I felt it matched best with the headlights and tied everything together. Found the smoked ones slightly darker than the paint and out of place IMO.

Wow Illusive, thanks for posting that pic. Also, thanks to all who have chimed in. I was afraid the clear would stand out too much but now seeing Illusive's pic is making my choice that much harder, it does not look bad at all.

I think the clear def looks great on white cars. Thanks to all again, decisions, decisions.
