That's a pretty far fetched claim.

If you can claim that a bright white car was crashed into because a 3" reflective strip was missing on a police report it'd be pretty impressive.

"I was doing 60mph and blew that red light, but I couldn't see this car because the reflector was missing!"

If this were the case you'd hear about it more often...especially when tail light and headlight tints are illegal, but very very common.

On the black or white subject, I would say go with white since the markers are just reflectors, but my previous TL came from the factory with smoked side markers and they looked nice as well, though they stuck out from the bodywork so smoking worked better than trying to paint it as a speed bump.
