Tinted tail lights?

I was just wondering how my car would look like with tinted tail lights....
only the clear part though, not blacking out the whole thing.....

you know like the tailights on an s65, or sl 65.

yay or nay?

anyone have pictures of one with the tinted tail light?

the sizes are 19X8.5 235/35 front and 19X9.5 265/30 rear with 15mm spacers. Offset is 44 I think.

There are a few photos of my silver CLK55 with DTM-style tinted tail lights...

That's a very pretty W208 with the 19" AMG's...I plan on doing the same to my tail lights on my W210 once it gets a little warmer.
