Get the clear ones for an arctic silver car and then get the chrome amber turn signal bulbs. Get rid of any amber looks to the tail light and the color is more of a gold then amber when they are on. Really gives the car a more luxurious look.

Kram do you have a picture of the lights on your car? If you do i'd like to see them. Most of the pics on the net have the smoked ones.

I do not. You might want to check your local laws, smoked tail lights are illegal where I live.

I can see particalwave having a peppermint feeling as his car is white.

I prefer clear. That's what I put on my Arctic silver Boxster.

I would go with clear on silver as well... I was going to go with smoked on blue with mine and decided to go clear on blue and I'm happy with it.

Kram I ordered the chrome bulbs from the link you posted today. Thanks. I figured what ever lights i decide on the chrome bulbs will work in.
Also the center brake light in clear or smoked won't work on my car due to the aero kit spoiler. I actually started a different thread about that the other day. As far as I can tell the center brake light for the aero kit spoiler is the same part number as the center brake light on the 996.
