Anyone have Smoked corner lights?

I'm thinking about either to get the clear corner lights or smoke the amber light myself. My car's blk, so I'm thinking that the smoke could match it better with the color, what do you guys think??

what do I need to do to smoke the amber lights btw?? i'll search the DIY forum, but if you know how, please post as well. thx

it is difficult....I had fun doing it though....
the pain in the *** was taking out the back lights....

TRANSLUCENT BLACK PAINT COST ME 10 BUCKS...
the rest was free....

LEADING FIX UP PRICE??? INSTALLED 150....not worth it..
anyone got a different outcome??

The pic of the smoked front side marker lights, as requested by FrankW, is missing on your site.

Sure. I started with a clear (not euro-clear) lense and paid to have it done professionally so its perfect. If you want the contact info, e-mail me. tifosiv122@hotmail.com

My car is black opal - hated the orange side markers -
Bought a can of Testor Transparent Black Window Tint #2949 - taped the lights up on the car and gave them a light smoke - after seeing tifosiv122 ride yesterday I'm going to go darker
