Where's the option for "Say no to chavy tat"?

If you feel you must (And I've never had a headlight broken by a stone chip) use clear.

I've got clear ones on mine, would have thought that coloured or smoked one may not be a great idea, esp as the SV's lights aren't the brightest about...
.. worth doing even if it's just to avoid stone chips and sctractes.
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION

If its for protection buy the clear ones, if its for looks get the yellow or smoked ones. When i brought mine i asked them for a small of-cut so i could make a cover for the parking light too
