Clear/ smoked 3rd Brake light, NEED ANSWER NOW AWAY TO ORDER!!!

I am away to order the Clear 3rd brakelight for my car in the next hour, so i am looking to know if any one has the clear or smoked 3rd brake light.???

my car is a 2002 has the facelift lights, which ive fitted myself and i always feel there is a slightly smoked appearance on the new lights so am scared the clear is to clear and the smoked maybe to smoked if you catch my drift.

pictures or knowledge would be amazing.

thanks

Your car is silver, so is the clear 3rd brake light. It will blend in real well. The smoked one is practically black.
Get the Clear One!

I agree if your car is silveer go clear. I have a smoked one and it disappears until i touch the brakes and it lights up like a charm. They are great mods.

I agree with Zackwatt. The clear would look much better.

The twin turbo is amazing, tourqe down low and after a few months with it I am still surprised at the acceleration.

After I do a dyno I will do a full report.
