I called RB Tech down in LA a few months back inquring about their lowering kit. They mentioned to me that they sell smoked rear lenses for the new E. I was not interested at the time, so did not inquire any further. Call them and find out...www.rbtechla.com

would the smoked tail light just smoke the white part of the lights or all of it? this is what is on some s classes as just the white parts are somewhat gray looking.

I like the look. Check out this link first, then the other.

First


Second


The paints cost about $4 each and 1 can of each should be enough for one car. I read that the transparent black paint works better when the can is warmed up in hot water. I think this shoud be quick and easy to do. That's why the guy decided to make a business of it.

V DuBb,

I realize most people in the thread only want to smoke the white parts of their lights. In your case, is what you've done legal where you are in Cali?

I know in SoCal I've heard (not directly) that they've started cracking down on entire brake lights being smoked like yours. Have you heard anything like this up where you are?

No idea. I think you're in the Bay Area? Maybe they don't care up there. All my stories are about people in SoCal and even in SoCal I think its LA cops that are just front license plate and tail light ****'s.

It must be the lighting, but it appeared to have a subtle bit of tint.

The 2007 tails do have a tint to them as pictured above.
