Default Smoke or Clear??? Help me decide

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a pair of
Custom Dynamics Dynamic Ringz on the front only.
I plan on leaving the rear stock and I cant decide if I want the
clear or smoke lenses.
Any thoughts or pics of the black bullet housings with smoke and /or clear
lenses to help me decide ?
Thanks

I recently added the Custom Dynamics Ringz, and I chose to change the front lenses to clear. Why? To get the most out of the ring of outer white lights, as well as the better amber of the turn signal than the smoked covers would show. A little bit safer IMHO.

The lense does not cover the white LED's on the bezel, just the orange ones for the blinker. I went with smoked and you can't even tell when the blinkers are on but you can't see all the little LED's when they aren't on.

I've talked myself out of buying them at the moment, just cant decide if I want them at all.
I would probably go with clear should I ever get off the fence on them.

Ask yourself why are you upgrading to only partial LEDs first. I personally did all mine for safety and of course style as well. If your desire is to increase light output be it turns namely which was my desire i went with clear which allow LEDs to be at there brightest. My Genisis II stop lamp assembly is so bright enough that it actually illuminates the inside of the car behind me with brakes applied. I replaced all my lights for about 70 bucks more then the cost of the HD Daymaker headlight. Custom Dynamics rules the LED market thats for sure.
