Question rear light opinions?

so recently i purchased some clear rear side marker lights as i broke one of my oem ones (from pure stupidity) and what im trying to decide now is if i want to keep them clear and get uras style rear bumper lights to go with them or just get red vinyl tint for them so they look more oem.

Why not just buy a used OEM one?

thought about it, originally i really just wanted to do the idea of clear lights with the uras bumper lights but now im a little iffy... plus i got them for $15 shipped, including the fronts although i have a 99 front bumper.

My opinion? Have never liked clear tail/marker lights, probably never will.

I don't like clear corners, tails, etc. The lights are typically low quality and imho look cheap.

I think the clear would like fine on a white car. For yours i'd go oem or tinted dark to blend them into to body.

ANY light other than OEM looks like some Honda hideous 16 year old crap, but that is just my opinion lol.
