Default Clear or Smoked?

Was about to buy the Clear turn signal and side light package.

I then see they sell smoked too, anyone have some pictures of a 97+ with smoked lenses?

I am getting them off ebay Like 38$ for both sets, I like the clear too, I just wanted to see a bought picture of smoked, not the painted ones.

I just wished I had the other 90$ for the clear rear tailights.

Either these from paycheck of tint... I need tint!

I just went from clear to black lenses. I painted by stock tail lights with the tint paint so decided to make the clear lenses match. I will get some pics up sometime tonight.

Tint is my main priority right now, So I need to make sure I get 205$ this friday, or else no tint

I had to punch the other side to even things up a bit...lol..

Here is a pic of both the bottom and side markers tinted. I can't decide whether or not to leave the clear or smoked ones on.
