Parking lights Poll

Okay at some point the first owner of my car replaced the clear front parking lamps with orange ones… I really can’t make up my mind if I should keep them in or replace them with the clear stock ones ?? Somehow I think they kinda match the rest of the color trim .. what do you guys think ?

The clear ones look a little better. The amber ones don't bother me.

i always thought it looked kinda funny to have a really clear lens and a colored bulb. if the lenses are grated or something, they look about equal, but i don't like to see the bulbs. if i had to pick real clear vs orange, i'd go orange.

if the amber ones look as good as they do in the pictures (no cracks, scratches or trapped humidty) i see no reason to change them.

I think they both look good.
I will be replacing the clears on my car, but the amber ones look good too.

imo...either clear all the way like bubbakutz. I hate our stock ones they look like they're 200 years old and completely faded to me. Just my opinion.
