I don’t dislike some of the after market smoked and clear side markers and if my car was black, white, or silver I would probably swap it out, but on the Agein Blue I like the orange better. Anyone else?

No. Clear is so much better. I pre-ordered my clear Asia Honda one before I got the actual car.

But Europe and Asia buy the orange ones from USA to replace their clear ones. And people in North America are buying clear ones to get rid of the orange ones.

people just like to mod their cars.

That's true! Here in Thailand, people are swapping out their clear ones for orange. I like mine clear.

I don’t hate it like some do. I have smoked, and am debating swapping out for the OEM clear set.

I think it depends on the car color and what people are looking for. For example, there are people with black cars that black everything out (chrome, markers, lights, dark windows) and to them, it's a cool, mean look. Other people see it as looking like a big, black, blah blob.

I personally have gone back and forth on the orange markers with my dark Cosmic Blue. I've tried smoked Depo's and clear Unity's and wound up selling them to members here because it just seems like the Cosmic Blue needs that pop of color to break up the darkness.

Then again, I just bought smoked/amber Unity's so we'll see how that goes. :cool:

No, you are not the only one. I also like the stock Amber.

I didn't like the orange at all on the Lunar Silver hatch I had. I didn't mind it with the Championship White on the Type R, but the grey does look better so I swapped.

I order some clear side markers with the amber LEDs. I’m tempted to not put them on because I have the cosmic blue but I agree with @gtman making the color pop.

I like it either way, did mine just because it's a low cost mod lol a good warm up to take out the first screws off the new car (back then)

Though if I got to decide, I'd much prefer it designed to be a signal instead of side markers, if that's the case, I'd keep mine amber for sure.

I like the "glow" effect from the Unity sidemarkers much better than the stockers, personally. But everyone has different tastes, and there's usually an option for everyone. It's all good.

Orange blinking lights look great to me, just like black tires do, regardless of car color. I don't think my car would look better with red or clear transparent tires either.
