Which turn signal lense should I go with?

Looking to replace my old fogged up turn signal lenses, which one should I go with? Old style or new style? Anybody have pics with the new style installed?

I have the 'new' style ones on both of mine ...... but I would have gone with new stock ones if they weren't so expensive.

Old style. Not a fan of the others.

Old style. Depot makes very nice reproductions. That is one place I didn't feel the 150.00 for OE was justifiable. Bought a set of depots this week for about 75 shipped. Look great!

Re: Which turn signal lense should I go with?

mine are still in good condition but since I just got the car repainted, I'm going to be ordering a set of the old style but smoked and a set of markers smoked too. I like the smoke on black, just looks sexy. But the old style with the tilted lens and divider inside just looks sharp!

Old style. The line through the middle coincides with the split headlights.

Old style all the way. They may cost more but they show it in the end. The others just look cheap to me.
