Default White vs. "JDM" amber

What do you guys think? I’m not too crazy about the hold amber thing. I’m about to buy a pair of stock tail lights (mine or cracked) and amber side makers from the civics in Japan and I already have fake vision corners. Right now I have the half white, half red taillights (with amber bulbs in turn signals), and real Japanese corner’s and I was think of picking up 2003 SiR (Si for you US guys) side makers (White but also with amber bulbs)

Is White with amber bulbs still tight to all those “JDM” ****** out there?

BTW I’m going to be flipping back and forth from pure amber and White with amber bulbs.

and I only put "JDM" in the title to get more attention. For some reason I hate the term.

What do you like?
If you're not crazy about the amber then get the white. As long as you buy quality parts and install them properly it's fine by me. I just hate half assers.

Personally, I like the Amber look a little better. I'm currently in Japan and I see a lot of fixed up cars on a daily basis. Most all the EK9s and DC2s (the real ones) are kept pretty close stock and they look great with the stock ambers on. Just my 2 cents.

I personally think the amber sides look sleeker on dark paint jobs and the clear with amber bulbs looks sleeker on light paint jobs. So its a toss up, but the 2003 Si lights sounds like a good idea.

It's a matter of taste and what you like

Do what you think looks best on your car

Appearance anyone?
Seriously though.....the amber one looks good to me. I didn't even really know they were "JDM" until I got on this site. I don't really care if it is "GayDM"....I freakin like them at thats about it.

What colour is your car? I swapped my factory jdm amber side indicators and rear ones on my eg6 because I think the clear looks better than amber with a red car. Do what you think looks best.

are you talking about your turn signals?

if so DO NOT get white bulbs. it blinds the HELL out of people at night, and it's INVISIBLE in the daytime
