The person who wrote it also seems to be a retard....
CLEAR INDICATORS - Boy racers are renowned for their complete failure to appreciate the finer points (and often even the essential points) of design, and clear indicators are one such example. No doubt inspired by one person modding his white car with clear indicators, most boy racers have followed suit (in the traditional manner of boy racers to follow trends rather than actually think about their designs) and replaced their traditional yellow-tinted indicators with clear ones.

Yep!
As I read the article, the wider point is that the Boy Racer assumes that any and every vehicle can be improved by adding clear indicators/lexus lights on the basis that it's what everyone else does.
My car has clear front indicators, but they came on all 800's as standard (I wouldn't like them to be orange). You fitted yours for a good reason.

Most Rover post 1990 have clear fronts don't they ? I know my 2 Metro GTi had clear fronts (and clear rears when I got hold of some r100 rears but they were white cars so it suited)

Re: boy racer guide
my car came with clear indicators out of the factory, but they used orange bulbs, so its kinda pointless.

Re: boy racer guide
Wasn't the maestro one of the first (if not the first) car to have factory clear front indicators?
They also use proper clear bulbs too, (The have the yellow filter built in but obscured by a mesh so it can't be seen from the outside - you can see some proper thought went into it..... inthe 70's!).
