The lights work fine unsmoked... why pay 50 for lights when you could buy a spoon windshield banner

Legal or not, they are trouble.

Both clear and smoked lenses (especially smoked lenses) are less visible in daylight when lit than stock amber lenses. Since directional indicators are something I believe everyone should use I do not think it wise to reduce their effectiveness for the sake of appearance.

clear lenses are just as hard to see in the day time....but that still doesnt justify me keeping the amber ....amber is ugly , and out of place on a Black ITR ...thats why i tinted mine....and you can see them just fine in the day time ....
