Clear Vs Clear Side markers....!
Quick question:
I was going to plastidip my side markers but am too **** about the paint not matching. I am going to go with clear markers now. There seems to be 2 kinds. Foggy Clear that are more like OEM and then a clear kind. Links below. What are most running here and which looks better on the car?

They're both fine, but up to your personal aesthetic taste. One thing to keep in mind asides from the bezel choice (and I think the second one is more of a shiny plastic rather than chrome chrome) already brought up is the clear ones, you'll be able to clearly see the bulb inside (which some people don't like) and the diffused one you won't really be able to pinpoint the bulb inside, giving it a slightly cleaner look in that regard. I think there are a few other options out there in the market though...that has the bezel of the first, and the diffused look of the second. There used to be another one which doesn't have the bezel at all as well.

Agreed completely.
I am looking at buying the same type deal.
It is really up to yur personal choice but I think if you had the all clear but diffused a little so you couldn't see the bulb it would be mint...
I don't know if you have seen these or not:

It is also difficult to tell but they seem a little less transparent but still clear. (To me?)

Very hard to tell... They look basically clear to me... I do not really like the all clear but also don't like the completely diffused ones.... I'm on the fence.

I was undecided between the 2 also but ended up with clear ones since I really wanted the markers to blend better and not stand out too much. The chrome I felt would do that. I ended up putting LEDs in them also but when I have time I might try to hide the bulbs inside the fender so the markers don't light up at all. Looks a bit busy at night having LED eye brow and HID on.
