Personally i like clears, but i also think clear indicators are lost if standard rear lights are kept.

there's spotlight brackets and lamps on ebay at the moment ....both carrelo and the ones with the ford sticker on....

brackets are getting pricey but they're brand new...i managed to get a mint pair of carrelo ones to replace the ford sticker ones on my car for Ł16 the other week ....

guess it's just right place at right time...

Black plates, clear indicators (but break the amber bit out and use mirrored bulbs), smoked rear lights, and definatly no spot lights!

Cheers
