Well, your car I would consider to be more of a show car than a DD or frequently-driven car (although I don't know how often you drive your Fox), so that's one thing. But someone who drives at night a lot and would actually need useful high beams is going to be SOL if they're running smoked lenses. If you're having to run your high-beams full-time, though ... what're you supposed to do when you're out in the boonies and you actually need high beams? And besides, since on the '87+ cars the high-beam switch keeps the turn signal stalk pushed forward all the time (rather than the clicky-toggle switch type on the older four-eyed Foxes), I would imagine it would be kind of annoying driving around with your turn signal shoved all the way forward.
Again, smoked lenses LOOK very nice, and on a show or track car, they're fine. But on a DD or even a weekend toy, they just don't seem practical to me. Too many trade-offs and hassles involved to make it a worthwhile option. Plus the fact that they're not actually DOT street-legal opens you up to the possibility you could run across a picky cop that could issue you a fix-it ticket.
Clear lenses, in general, are the best way to go IMO, especially on a white or black car.
FWIW, those1-piece lenses above ... ehhhhh ... I wouldn't say they're outright hideous, but something about them just doesn't quite work. Maybe it's because the center section looks like someone grafted in one of those H3 bulb conversion things along with some kind of universal side-marker lamp, and then molded it together with a clear lens on the outside.
If someone could make a Fox lens that actually looks pretty close to the SN95 lenses, that'd rule ... but I don't see that happening with the way Fox lenses are shaped. One-piecers are bound to look a little weird on a Fox, no matter what.
