How about clear and lose the quads? Never been a fan of quads on saphs. They look too big.

IMO, Ambers (and i mean all round, not just the fronts) only suite white and magnenta.

Any other colour, like Flint or Moonstone need to have clears on for sure. Makes them look abit more modern.

Standard headlamps with either clears or amber.

Those headlamps look a bit 'max power' imo!
