Default Should I get the OEM smoked headlights or smoked clear corner ones?

My passenger headlight has been really messed up and it was finally given its last blow from a palm tree. I figured if I am going to replace one I should do the other so it doesn't miss match and look weird.

I just don't know how I feel about clear corners on a MG car. And the super dark smoked ones just aren't my style.

Here some clear corner ones:



Whats on my car now OEM dark ones:



I just don't think the clear corners work well with MG. I also have those clear fogs so I don't want the super dark ones either or it will look odd. I think I might just get those OEM ones they sell for $69 each which is the Ford OEM style ones.

I would definitely go with the clear corners. Let's see some more pictures of the car too! A nitrous how to video/demonstration would be nice

For MG my first choice would be OEM and second would be clear corners.

I saw a few more pics of MG with clear corners and it looks iffy at best most of the time. I think the OEM style ones are what I am gonna go with.

**** I hate spending money I don't have!
