clear vs. smoked front turn signals
the place i'm getting my car repaired at will credit me the 130 for a stock signal from mazda so i was thinking about upgrading to the smoked/clear ones. i've had no trouble finding pictures of the signals themselves but with them on a car is proving difficult. any thoughts and especially pictures would be appreciated, color of my car is montego.

stick with the stock clears
look better IMO |
i normally would, but paying 130 for one lens to just seems outrageous
|
Smoked lights look a lot better in darker colored cars, I say go for it.
|
Im about to get the smoked lens and use them for a while.
I saw them on another VR fd with the 99 lip it and it looked amazing. |

Got these euro clears on eBay for around $100 and think they look great, felt the stocks were nice but a bit dated...all depends on what you like, wish I had some better pics but these are pretty good.
|
Are you talking about these smoked lights?
http://rx7.com/store/rx7/images/FDco...oked_large.jpg If so I would go with these instead. http://rx7.com/store/rx7/images/FDco...lear_large.jpg These would make your car look alot cleaner. The smoked ones just make it look too dark and tacky. Thats just my opinion though. |
i'd love to see the clear with black housing one's on a car. I think they would look awesome. But I'v never seen a car with them. Someone post a pic!!
|
i was looking at the smoked ones from rx7store

rough idea.
|
that's the smoked i take it. looks alright. feel a little uneasy about the look, but i'm going to have to buy a pair regardless so what the hell right
|
POLY keep it looking original. Add ons and body kits get dated quickly. There's not many body kits that stand the test of time like the original car. Just my 2 cents.
|
not smoked... smoked would be darker again.
|
the thing i don't like so much about those is the distinction between the turn portion and the running light portion, i see the same distinction on the rx7store ones. does anyone have a pic of the smoked ones?
|
A few pics of my RX7 store smoked signals:

Here's a set of the clear ones on my Silver FD :). IMO the clear ones look better on a lighter color car, Silverstone or CYM and the darker ones look better on MB or Red. I think if you have a Black FD you could go either way.
Good Luck |

Good Luck Where did you buy those clear turn signals from? I have a silver FD and would like a set like those. The ones on rx7store.net are clear but part of it is black. JC |

I think new lights bring the front end more up to date...I probably wouldn't have paid $100+ for them. I won them at a Rotary Deals Gap meet. |

Here you go $79.99 plus $19.99 shipping....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-95...40564378QQrdZ1 if the link is no good just go to procarparts.com and you should find them... |
I have the smoked with black on my red FD, I think they are a very good update to the stock lenses. Those rippled clear with amber lense lights look very 1990's.
