Smoked or clear indicators?

...That is the question!

I can't decide which to go for on my E46 Coupe - Picture of it here for colour ref -(www.ttop.nu/images/bmwfront.jpg)

I will be getting LED rear lights eventually and have found some very nice ones with smoked turn signals or can smoke the OEM ones if need be. I just can't decide if smoked or clear would look better! If the car was black i'd have the smoked straight away but with this colour i can't decide.

Get Hella OEM rear lights - the others are tacky aftermarket jobbies which feel - and are - cheap.

Cheers, I'm always weary of the aftermarket ones, they look OK in the pics but i've not seen any in the flesh to know if they are any good. Still..its an example of what the OEM could look like if i got the indicator parts smoked.
