Before and after: smoked corners in place of clears

I decided to give smoked corners a try. These are brand new TYCs that I got off eBay for not much money. I was pleased to discover that the clear corners that were on my car are Bosch -- I didn't realize Bosch made these.

Anyway, here are some before/after shots. It's very subtle, but I think I like it -- the smoked corners blend a bit more with the Euro headlights, at least to my eye. Easy enough to reverse anytime, though. And I haven't tried orange corners yet.

Janos, looks good. I agree, the smoked lenses do blend better with the euros. I like it!
 
Looks good Janos, they blend nicely with the silver paint also !

Thx for sharing
 
Looks good. The smoked lenses also play against the monochrome bumper you have going on. Well done.

maw
 
Like what everyone says here, it looks better. I noticed it as well, while not that obvious, smoked corners blend well with the Euro headlights. Congrats on a job well done!
