i have a jet black/black 323 and need to lose the amber lenses. what do you think would look better? OEM clears or non-OEM smokes (all around)? :dunno:

go with the clears, the smoke ones *might* have fitment issues.

I like the OEM clears better, but I'm sure you'll get a pretty split response on this...

I have smoked on my jet black....look at my sig...you decide.

I know that the smoked ones loook MUCH MUCH better on black cars. Its a slick, pimp, gangsta look.

get OEM

I just installed smokes on my Jet Black 323Ci this week. They look ****ing awesome impin: Even my wife thinks they look great. As soon as the batteries for my digicam charge I'll post some pics.

I got the fronts and tails from procarparts.com, and the sidemarkers from bavauto.com. They aren't OEM but they fit the same as the amber ones I took off.

I'm glad I got smokes instead of clears.

edit: you may have problems finding all the parts for smokes if you have a sedan. Someone told me they couldn't find fronts anywhere :dunno:

 

[gofast323]

yep - the smokes for the sedan are slightly harder to find, but they have some at bekkers

don't know about these though.. they may have more fitment problems than the ones from procarparts..

 

[slow323ci]

I looked at that link you gave, I'd think about getting the fronts and sides from Bekkers, and the rears from procarparts. I've spent thousands at Bekkers and they have been good to deal with.

 

[gofast323]

were the rears from procarparts really easy to install or something? just wondering why not get all from bekkers and save on shipping..?

stick with your ambers man!

go use the money for other mods :thumbup:

I agree. Black (or White) with smoked out lenses looks very nice. Very few other colors look as good.

Nevermind - I couldn't find ANY smokes for sedans at procarparts. Guess it's Bekkers for you!

Too bad - the tails from Bekkers are $250, I paid $130 from procarparts. But I have a coupe.
