I don't understand why you can't find blacked out 94-97 turn signal housings? There are way more parts for 94-97 Integras than 98-01's. I get sick of fishing through early model integra parts to find my own. Look on EBAY, use "integra lights" as your search

Personally I think clear looks the best on silver or white though.

my civic is silver and yes the clear do look good on it

clear is over-rated... just as chrome rims. Tinted or black housing all the way!

Yeah, gunmetal is nice. Chrome, and bling bling??? lol. psshhhh. over-rated, and IMO looks ugly. If you are trying to make your car bling bling, you shouldn't be in an accord. Some other cars do look nice with chrome rims, and the right mods, but still are not my taste. And wtf is wrong with these jits and putting spinners on a 5th gen accord?????? OMG, lol, disgusting.

I have black bumper turn signals, and one piece black housing projectors, and it makes the front look aggressive. I laugh when I see the clear and chrome lights. It just looks bad. Thats my opinion at least.

I have black housing halo projectors too and I HAD clear corners with black housing but it just bothered me too much to have the leaks with condensation so my stock amber corners are back I'm working on finding some non-leaking clear corners that I can tint...but I wish someone had a pic I could see so that I could see how much I even like it!!

I don't know if this is all that relevant but there's a place that does professional work on tail lamp tinting / smoking. I'm pretty sure you could email them and ask about clear corners and etc. being tinted for a certain price if negotiable. If you truly want to do it yourself then go with VHT NightShades. It's specifically made for plastic. Also look into using "Clear Coat" from Testors so that you have that glossy look rather then it being dull and fading over time. Your best method would be to test VHT NightShades on a test material if you have the money for it, by sanding down the plastic then going over it with a moist rag to remove any particals left behind. Then do a light coat with the spray, alow it to dry, and go over with another light coat and continue the process until you get the right shade you're looking for. After it dries for 24 hrs, Apply the clear coat "gloss" paint and do about 2 coats. The clear coat should protect the Tint paint from fading as quickly.

The website that does profession work on the tails lights is @ http://www.smokinlights.net
