What turn signals to get - Clear or Black?

I have a 2001 White Z. For Christmas my girlfriend got me some black halo lights for the car. I'd like to change the turn signals out as well, but not sure what color to do.

Go with a clean clear look that would match the white, so they blend in? Or go with the Black so they stick out (white/black contrast) and match the lights?

Thanks.

I'm a big fan of contrast so I vote for black.

I put clears on my silver Z, they look real good. I don't like the contrast. I like things to blend right in.

Black halos? Black turnsignals.

On white and red cars, I say black turn signals, anything else clear all the way

If by black you mean the smoked ones, then get the black. I have black halos and smoked corners, pics in sig

Black I have black ones on my car and love them, I think they should come from the factory that way

When I see white ones, for some reason I think of rice. Not sure why. I like the look of factory. There something about people changing lights that doesn't go with me. Kind of like people with beamers making there halos brighter, :yuck: I still have my original ones on my car and they look good.

What really matters is what you like. Well, as long as it's taisty.

Edit: Ok, Steve, yours look good. I might take some of this stuff back.

or you can go to a hobby lobby and get a can of model window tint. it works great, just pull you lights off and spray the outside with about 15 coats, depending on how dark you want it. i used it on both my turn signals and tail lights... can save alot this way.

I think the biggest issue is my grill, as it is currently black. I do plan on doing something with it - just not sure what yet.

I don't want to end up with black halo lights, black turn signals, and a black grill. I think it will look too much Black and White. That is not what I want. I want a "smoothness" look from the car. Where things blend together, and it just looks right, where nothing really sticks out (too much contrast).

It's hard to find a good grill on a white car, but I'm learning towards one of these:

It's a carbon fiber look. Sounds ricey, but I think it looks good on the white. Then I would go with clear.... aruugh. I have no idea.

Once I figure out the grill, I'll be able to do the turn signals......

Here is a picture of a white grill on a white car (from RKSport):

i say go black...i was running with black corner covers from rksport for a while and then pulled off the covers and tinted the housings themselves a few weeks ago. looks clean and sleek.couldn't imagine having them any other way now.

if you can find them, there are some clear turn signal housings with a black interior that look pretty sweet...would go well with black halos and that carbon fiber grille you are loking at imo.

go with the clears if you get the carbon fiber insert...i think the tinted ones make the car look too busy...clear is my vote

:confused: Yeah 15 coats thats gonna wear off in a couple weeks:rolleyes: !!! Or you can do it right an buy some Nightshade thats actually for that! About 15 bucks and you only need to do 2 or 3 coats and that will be dark enough for sure!:cool:

I like these the best. After I saw them on this car, I bought them later that day, and sold my darkouts for the turnsignals.

Yeah, they are friggin sweet IMO. I got them off of ebay from some no name company. If I can track down the company, I'll let you know.

The pics were of the guy I got the idea from. Here's a pic of them on my car;
