Smoked Tail lights

I have my cl55 with smoked tail lights. With the Black color of the car I get allot of complements. The one thing about it I really like is I got the side markers smoked so they look black with the lights off but look amber at night and the lights are on. But each person has their own likes and dislikes. I agree keep the mods simple but elegant.

Smoking looks classy and sporty if you keep it light. For instance, the OEM smoking on the SL55/65. If you go too dark it looks Fast N' The Furious.

I would be happy to. I just need the weather to clear up as the car is dirty and the temp is -17 with the wind chill.
