Default Corner Light Decision

I busted my driver's side corner light a while ago. Well, not really. I just was tryng to take it out so I could get at the turn signal thingy, and *SNAP* I discovered that the rocket-scientist who last owned the car had <U>glued</U> the bastard in.

Anyway, here I am, and I need to replace the corner lights, so I'm stuck deciding between these styles:

and
http://www.matrixracing.com/p-....aspx

My car is dark blue, so I'm thinking the black might look good with the paint, but I don't wanna buy them if they are gonna look teh gay. Or if the light output will be shat.

Any Ideas/Opinions/Experience? Thanks!

*oh yeah, plz dont gimme the whole "do whatever YOU WANNA DO, DUMBASS! Why would you ever want SOMEONE ELSE'S opinion?!?!? JEEZ!!"
i dont wants to hearzz its

*EDIT*

the black one will "eat" the light....
I've broken my bumper lights, and decided to go with a "blacked out" one... and, I've noticed that you can't really see it blinking as much... unless it's getting dark or at night.
My personal opinion would be a OEM style, if not... a clear one or maybe a amber one (the whole amber signal)...

I would go with the second one's because of the all sliver allready in the headlights so it would gust blend in beter than the blacked out one's

I'd go with factory or factory style with the amber. I don't know about in BC but here in WA clears are illegal.

Well, if you get OEM ones and blackhouse them yourself you can leave some of the reflector and your signals will be just as bright, but you will have blackhoused like you want. I did it on my white CB7 and it looks great.
Good luck

Get the clear corners, looks nice. Get them off ebay though, those arent worth 20 bucks!
