Trying to decide a similar thing, do I want light smoked red lenses or light smoked clear lens on a silver 2007 base.

Would be interested in seeing any pics s well.

Takes less than 5minutes to install each light. Truly plug and play.

Just for clarity. Which ones are those? Light or dark smoke?

Light Smoke but with Clear Lenses or Red Lenses?

I'm guessing yours are light smoked clear lenses based on @LegendRider's lights are light smked and look more red. Please confirm.

You are correct. Clear lenses painted light smoke.

Thanks for the pics but you guys aren't making my decision any easier.

I like BOTH the light smoke clear lens AND the light smoke red lens versions!!

Both will make a huge difference and everyone has their own opinion. My opinion would put clear.light smoked on a cyber gray or silver Vette. But that is just my opinion. You cant make a bad decision, let me send one more picture.

That's exactly what we were hoping they would look like - clear/smoked or RED.

So those 'clears' look like the center isn't really that dark, or is it?

Here's one from a customer that bought clears - thanks Craig for providing the photos.


Note, it's very subtle, but no red center like this image below:

@umnitza Is there a listing for the cutouts or was it a custom purchase? I have the Morimoto's and would love to tint just the centers.

Here is a comparison with (I believe) your same car color:


Comparison between the clear with smoked centers (outside) to the OEM lenses (inside).

All four installed, plus the laser side markers...all from Cole.
