I'm with Zack. The white corners stand out.

Don't the clear corners require yellow bulbs?

Wouldn't the all red corners flash red instead of yellow? Or do they flash yellow underneath the red lens?

call me crazy, but i like the yellow ones best. this is a european car, after all. if i HAD to choose, I'd go with the red. the white look a little too "fast and the furious" for my tastes (but that's just me)
