Smoke Tail Lights - opinion?

Have you seen these lights mounted on a Pewter or Silver W203, how would they look?

How about this black and white AMG flat hood emblem?

I am not personally fond of the S class tail lights, but they will look good on a silver / pewter car.. I have smoked tail lights, but I also smoked my bumper lights and had my mirror signal lights tinted (just swaped to the new 05+ led blinkers that aren't tinted yet) .. I like the whole smoked look.

Where did you find that hood emblem? That looks pretty cool.. I would be interested in that too.. please share!

it all depends on the color of the car. tinted tails look good on darker cars like amgmark's, imo.

the emblem is great! and it's being sold by Anthony from simply_benz - awesome guy! i have purchased many small items from him and i still keep in contact with him.

as for the smoke tials, they would look good if the clear part wasnt smoked. it looks very odd. i personally only like the red area tinted slightly.

NP. Yes, Anthony is good. I already bought AMG pins and key chain from him. As for the emblem, I will be contacting him directly to purchase.

BTW, he also sells this color AMG emblem, which probably would attract more attention but some may say that it is not as stylish as the black and white above.

Do those tail lights work with say an 06 C55? I read somewhere there's more/less connections or something?

I have those tails and they look nice to me. (My car is black though..) I think they'll look good on lighter colored cars too. I wanna get those emblems too.

The Black & White AMG flat hood emblem looks really good.

Silver C with smoked s-class tails?

Does anyone have a silver C-class (or pictures) with S-class smoked tail lights? I'm considering buying the S-class tails, but i can't decide whether smoked or non-smoked would look best on my silver C32. I think it looks sick on a black C, but i haven't seen too many silver ones around. If anyone has pictures of a silver C-class with smoked S-class tails could you please post them (or a hyperlink) so i can get an idea of how they look on a silver car. Thanks!

These are all the tail lights I have gone through the years. I Hope they help. The very last photo is the smoked S-class tail lights you see on ebay. The clear stripes are lightly tinted. If you look at them closely, they are not very dark, but look from a distance it gives a AMG tail effect.
