IMO it looks ricerish to just have a bulb sticking out so i'd put it in.

edit: also, we don't have any turn signals on our side so if you don't put the lense back in no one will be able to tell ur turning from the side. Don't know how important that is to you but it always bothers me.

I like them. The only thing I would have done is left the chrome behind the turn signal. It would make the lens appear clear insted of smoked.
