If you're going to black out your head lights at some point, and smoke your tail lights, and the front signal housings, and the reverse lights, then get smoked.
If you're leaving the other things as they are, go clear.

I prefer the smoked the clear looks to white too me. I use led bulbs in them. Headlights ect all stock non smoked and tails are all red. I'm not into the murdered out look. I just think the smoke ads a bit of stealth with out being over the top.
