Fog Lights for the Outlaw...Clear or Amber???

I'll be buying a set of Marchal fog lights that Mango Smoothie sent me a link to, but they are available in clear and amber. What are your thought?

Here she is getting ready for paint. Same silver with black strips.

Here's the look, Troy.

Or this (with Hella Nipple-lens jobbies)

It depends on the purpose of the lights. Clear = driving, amber = fog. From my experience, the more common lens is clear, so, for resale, that may be your best choice.

It looks like those fog lights become the bumpers on an outlaw! I wonder if Todd has ever had to replace them. Do you know what brand those are?

Gordon.
Are your's Hellas or did you just put a Hella nipple lense in some other housing?

Go clear with amber lamps.

hey Terry - any idea where Scott Sloan is these days? i LOVE his car!

Mango, Scott's car is for sale on the Intermeccanica site! That car is Sweeeet!!!!!

Troy, Scott's lights are Hellas. He has a set of covers that look bitchin as well.
Mango, Scott's around living and working like most of us. He's just maintaining his usual low profile.
Although his car is for sale, Scott will always possess the coolness factor that pours from the ride he envisioned.

i have always loved his car. if i was car less i'd be buying that in a heartbeat. unfortunately i can only afford 1 car and im not letting the Tiger go.

Troy:

Sorry, had a senior moment (as opposed to a senor moment, when I revert to Spanish).

My lamps are Marchalls, not Hellas. Hella never produced a nipple lens, because they're German (the people, not the lens) and Germans wouldn't do that.

BTW: Better fog lights used to be amber lensed before the 1980's, when computer designed lenses and reflectors were introduced. Those little babies could through a horizontal beam with an upper cut-off about 4 feet off the ground so you didn't get a lot of reflection back from the fog or whatever AND you could do it with less -xpensive-to-produce clear lenses.

Anyway, Amber fog lenses, to me, say old rally car while clear driving lenses say modern race car. Just me, I guess.
