Rice doesn't rhyme with orange.

Sorry, I'm just being jealous. I like the look of it.

I'd go for H4's instead.

(And fix your door hinge.)

I have H4's but they're (obviously & unfortunately) not the version that uses the euro trim ring. I think my door hinge is ok(?!?) I guess the door gaps look funny in the photos, but they're really perfectly even & flush. I assume its jpeg quality loss?

Actually since the car is a silvery color the clear lenses don't look bad. Some colors look good with them, some look ricey, yours is one of the good colors for those lenses.

I agree with this:

BTW, obviously yours is a US car, which has "more" orange than the ROW ones (the side orange in your car is filled up with sorta a rubber bumperette in ours). Here's one detail which does advantage to the looks of the US car (but NOT the headlamp ring, there the US looks downright awful). The orange goes well with your car's color, for some other colors, it might look better to go "clear" on those blinkers...

or you might consider black - that way it doesn't look like you have any indicators at all.

Keep it stock orange, white lenses are for newer models.
