Which bumper lens?
Hey guys, so just ordered a bunch of stuff for my car. Last thing on my list is to get new bumper lenses. Not 100% sure what you guys call them. Bumper lenses, corner lenses or parking lamps?
Anyway i think everyone gets what i'm saying. My car is black and I want something that is going to match well. I saw a pic of a black car with the smoked ones and it looked nasty. Didn't match at all, but im not sure what brand they were. I was looking at a couple on ebay.
What brand do you guys think i should go for on a black car? Ideally i would like to blend them in so you can't see them. The orange is nasty and sticks out like a sore thumb. If smoked is going to look ugly i would go for the clear ones.
Let me know, thanks guys. Happy New Year btw!

Most if us have the DEPO smoked or clear ones that you find on ebay. I have a black car too and use the smoked markers but if you want them darker and closer to your paint you'll need to get them painted with thinned automotive paint or buy some VHT nightshades and tint th yourself. Any option is better than the stock orange markers.

Thanks for your help so far guys. Still not sure which ones will look better on the black, if you guys can post pics that have either depo style, I'd appreciate it!
