Lighting: Clear or Smoked?
I'm most likely going to change my amber corner lights in the front, to something less ugly, so i was thinking what would look better on a alpine white 325is? Smoke or Clear? I'm leaning towards more to the smoked one....

I personally like clear just a little better on the alpine white BMWs. If you decide to buy anything be ver cautious of ebay. There is a good chance that that corners could be cheap plastic and of poor quality. That being said not all the stuff you find on ebay is bad, but the saying "you get what you pay for" usually holds true on ebay just like other places.

I think clear looks better in most situations on any color, smoked is better with black, i have to say I really like the amber lights with black (like in amanda's sig), but clears don't look too bad either. To each his own, let us know what you decide to get.
I agree, each car has its own feel to it and a bit of an energy or aura that surrounds it, if you will. Each owner must find and interpret his/her own cars aura and try to translate that into the correct corner light housing color. Choose wisely grasshopper.
