Here is my opinion...

The clear ones always remind me of cheap Altezza tail lights... I think they are rice.

The smoked one are too contrasty for a silver car. On a black car they are cool, on a silver one its too much and draws your attention away from the rest of the car.

My vote goes out to the European impact strips that have nothing there at all!

MBenzNL quoted me about $300 for the set of Euro impact strips, I was about to bite on the deal but then my **** got stolen so I had to buy the paint and paint stuff anyways, so I painted the side markers while I was at it.

I'm not biased or anything, but the clear ones make it look like there's a chunk missing from the front bumper.

What about at night?

Are you using the OEM yellow bulb, it will look orangish with the clear sidemarkers thats for sure.

I have the clear. I think it looks pretty good against the silver. O2's painted version looks great as well.

Clear here too - nothing looks as if it's missing. I use silver coated orange bulbs, so they illuminate yellow at night, but no "egg yolk" effect by day.

If you already have the markers and get the impact strips put on, will a message always appear on the dash?
