Smoked rear tail light?

Has anyone smoked their tail lights? I need some opinion regarding smoked tail lights on a silver W209. Should I smoke the red portion or white stripe of the taillights? If you have smoked your tail lights, please post up pictures Also, if anyone is selling their AMG sideskirts, let me know as I am interested. Thanks!

i dont have time to look for it but there are pics of an e55 with smoked taillights, it looks sharp but it would have to be your taste, a little off topic but i was thinking of changing my brake light bulbs to red LED bulbs and switch the amber turn signal bulbs with hyper white (a little blue tint to it) do you think that would look good? anyone have this?

I would love to smoke the white portions of the taillights. Just a little apprehensive of doing it myself. If anyone has an FAQ, shoot it this way!

Cadet......where did you see the LED brake lights??

LED as in the bulbs only, not the whole assembly but it should put off a sharp light at night, these are all over the stores and ebay its a regular plug in bulb but with a cluster of red LED's it looks sharp on the turn signals as well (my friend has them on his TL)

Do you know what is the brand that you use for the LED bulbs? I think it will look cool! I searched the forum and found the e-class. I think I will smoke mine soon
