Default Colour of Indicator lenses

Got clears on the front and side and want a diff look now.

Cant decide if i put the standard orange ones back on, smoke ones or keep the clears on there.

What prompted this decision was after last nights PF Berks meet, I ragged the car over to the local kebab van to find my right front indicator was just hanging out the bumper think it was when i hit a bit of dip in the road on full chat. I knew the light is a bit funny as it tends to unclip quite easily

Good thing about the orange ones are I have them in the garage already.

Ryan - i got a nice set of orange inders in me shed

Just cant decide what to do - as i quite like it as it is at the mo and also like it with the orange ones.

Think i better take the car out for another blast and see if the inder comes out again - then if it does im gonna change it.

How do i edit the poll so that i can add a third option which is clear inders?

As FRS says the front should deffo be clear... Orange just looks GASH on any car!
not sure on side repeater though.. i prefer clear, but each to their own on that one as it looks different on each car.
