Keep in mind that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I am not crazy about a direct view of the light bulb itself. You can help offset that by obtaining silver bulbs. I have the ribbed ones for that reason.

I'm leaning towards the ribbed ones. It distorts the light enough to hide an ugly bulb...makes it perfect for an LED tower bulb.

they also make ones with a "chrome" background instead of a black background. It looks better on silver cars, IMO.

That's the set up I have. I didn't want the LED tower to be visible, so that's why I like the ribbed version.

I got my black/amber with ribbed from Corvette Guys. They usually have a header ad on here.
