I'd go with white.
IMO it is fresher (as in more up to date with trends) than stock without looking customized (which I prefer).
The smoked look gives me the feeling that somebody just bought a can of spray and went over the lights. Don't get me wrong, to each their own, this is just my opinion.

If I can ad to this, with white/silver you get the chance of tying in with silver/natural rims, which otherwise would be the only metal shine thing on your car (otherwise black and red).

The end decision is yours dude

Nobody can decide what will work best for your car, and the image you want to portray, but you =)

the clear ones look better with light colored wheels.

If you ever switch to dark colored wheels go for the smoked look

Anything is better than those cheap-looking clear things.
Smoked, colorcoded, OEM, even none :P

Neither... the clear rx7.com ones are beautiful on VR.

But of those two the smoked maybe.

agree with this, I would also agree with khoveraki on the rx7.com clear ones looking the best. I got a chance to see some last weekend and they are amazing on a VF FD with light colored rims, having dark rims I'm gonna go with the smoked ones myself.

Clear.

Enless you go back to stock headlights then I would say smoked...But smoked with those sleek lights looks out of place..
