Car came with both sets of lights. Can’t decide which ones I like more. Both are OEM Hella units, so whatever set I don’t choose I can sell for a decent price.

Also, I got a thingie:

Most I see out on the road nowadays have the clear tail lights.

If you want to be unique, the amber ones, If you want a clean and mean look, the clear ones.

Always preferred Amber. Clear for some reason (to me) invokes altezza.

OOOooOooOOOO “etched glass” look. Do we have a picture of what it looks like in real life? This could work for me.

Amber, they’re more functional and have a nicer color transition for the reverse light.

Clear every time. I don’t like the ‘jaffa’ look. Replace the amber bulb for chromed amber bulbs to remove the ‘yolk’ effect to give a clear crisp look.

Kinja'd!!!

Before is the ‘yolk’ effect which is the amber of the bulb reflected around the lense.

After is a chromed amber bulb which flashes amber but is chromed silver when not in use.

People usually update pre-facelift cars to get a less dated look. I’d recommend to keep them and replace the headlights with hella angle eyes instead, should you find a reasonably priced set. Takes several years off the car.

The car has the optional Xenons. They cost $700 per side. I have no intention of changing the headlights.
