Which color corner lights for my Black Cherry Mica 2005 Shinka?
 
Do I go with the standard clear corners, or the stealth? I like the black ones better, but I'm worried they might stand out (in a bad way) against the Black Cherry.

What do you think?

clear

clear
then you can add some 194 v-led bulbs in either amber or white.

Get the JDM clear corners and be happy. They will look great. Also easy to install.

Clear looks good with black.

The standard JDM white will do, that's what I have on mine. :)

Clear corners looks best on the Shinka imo if you have to have corner lights. I prefer the Tsunami bumper without corner lights on my Shinka.

I have clears on mine.. love them!

EDZRIDE 09-04-2011 10:48 AM

Clear!

JDM clear corners with stealth bulbs.

Chad D. 09-04-2011 11:24 AM

:dunno: Black out the oems. :)

Wingznut 09-04-2011 11:50 AM

Wow... No love for the black. I'm a bit surprised.

Chad D. 09-04-2011 02:09 PM

honestly, if you are going to swap them anyways, just tint them with film or spray, if you like it you don't have to buy anything, if you don't like it, go JDM.

Clear Corners FTW

I vote clear as well... Black on a BCM would look a bit weird imo because it wouldn't have a purpleish tint like the rest of the car... unless you were to get black rims, stealth the windows, etc then they would fit the scheme and look awesome.

Chad D. 09-04-2011 03:31 PM

VHT Nightshades is actually tinted purpleish and so are many films.

I can't imagine spraying something like Nite-Shades on an amber lens is going to look good... Or be very functional.

I hate clear so much. Black or stock imo.

Here are some pics of my "nightshades" corners with led's in them.
When I get my new front I am going to delete them though.

just to give you an idea.
A can is like 5 bucks. hang them, spray the whole thing down, easy as pie/

Wingznut 09-06-2011 05:54 PM

Hmm... Perhaps I will try that, Chad. Like you said, what have I got to lose?

Chad D. 09-06-2011 08:44 PM

Just make sure you paint the whole housing along with the amber lens, or the light shines through the white plastic housing and looks stupid.

I took Chad's advice and painted my corners... And, to my surprise, it looks pretty good! It's certainly not perfect, if you look close enough, you can tell they're painted. So, I'll probably order the black corners next week.

EDIT: Got the windows tinted, too! :cool:
