It came with clears, why change to orange? While you are at it, why not change to 2WD pistons too, they come with FREE piston slap

it very nearly was/ still might be when i have time or if it gives me more problems.

I started breaking it a couple of saturdays ago , but ended up trying to find the fault lol

Any other colour and i would agree youd be mad to fit ambers to a 4x4 but silver works imo

Its not like i want to fit tickford badges to it pmsl

Cheers for the comments

I know it should have Clears with it being a 4x4 but those Ambers looks quality on the silver, gives it a nice contrast. I would go with whatever you like the most.

the thing is you cant have new style back ligths and ambers cause it just looks odd.

Its either all early stuff or all 4x4 stuff, then you have the predicament of if you put the old style lights all round on a car that has a colour that only came in late 4x4 and the fact it is a late k plate 4x4 it will look completly stupid especially at the rear.

But put in what you like as its your car

Clears for me too on your car are best, anyway us "real" cossie 2wd drivers might not give you permission to have ambers!! ha ha.
I think with your colour clear look better, as they sort of continue the clear headlight wrap theme if you see what I mean, makes it look a little more modern also with clears.

If it's ok it will piss the MOT emissions, mine did with 200K on the engine and 0.97% CO 137ppm, NOT adjusted for the mot at all, just normal perfect running conditions, won't be a problem with decent mapped chip and ecu,
