Why do you get "clear" auto-parts?

I happen to think the amber tinting goes go with any color. I don't get it?

But some guy here who has an Inca Pearl Civic with gunmetal rims got black housing "halo" lights (I think?). They look pretty sweet.

I won't even get into how I feel about Ricetezza's (just kidding...!)

I, too, am quite confused about the point of your post. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Its not that the amber tinting/plastic doesn't match the color of the car, its the fact that it looks 10x better without it. Nice and clean and clear.

I'm talking about things like cleared out tail and rear lights, and turn signals too.

I just think amber looks best, wether stock or modded.

I thought it was made amber because of visability? Why would anyone change a safety feature?

It is sorta a saftey feature. It is required by law to have an orange reflector in the front and a red in the rear so people can tell the difference between front and back. Other than that, the car is still very visible while driving or parked. I personally don't like altezza lights, but please refrain from knocking what other people do to their cars. It is rude to come on here and flame others for modding their car the way they want to. I personally have cleared headlight and I like them.

eh, i personally think the amber looks like crap... it kills the car. the rest of the car is black(or whatever it may be), you have some red in the back which is fine but amber in the front, ugh such an ugly color... but it just depends on the person... like you dont get why people clear their lights and i dont get why people dont clear their lights...

removing the amber gives it a more "custom" look i guess you could say....
