Which FB front signal lens is your favorite?

BIG QUESTION: Two different versions of the turn signal lens on an FB. Which do you prefer?

It depends on the color of the car for me.

The square converts in a Mariah are sweet and so are the nine inch rounds in the R-AF bumper. Personally I also like the fully clear ones made for the forum a while back.

I can't speak on the subject anymore. SA ftw.

Amber. My car is red with gold wheels, I think it'd look better with the amber.

Amber. I don't really like any clear lenses.

Aussie lights FTW!!! BTW in the second pictures, the white part is a white 194 bulb that is the parking lights and the amber is signals only. I have Aussie's in my FB now(although just the lenses for now as I have to lengthen the harness to plug the assembly in). I have Aussie's on my SA as well. I like them much better than the USDM lights

Don't mind the 2-tone on the FB since it sorta wraps around the corner a bit;
but prefer the cleaner look of the straight amber on the SA....
