The lights are definitely less bright but at night they are still very bright. In bright sunshine the difference is more noticeable. There's a site www.smokedlamps.com that is somewhere in CA.

My car is Capri blue.

That's what I love about the color. In overcast light and at night it looks black. In fairly bright light it is blue and with the sun beaming down on it there's a purplish hue. More pics on the E55 forum.

Tomorrow I pick up the Renntech spoiler and a week or so before the Lorinser CL grille to be painted the body color. I will not change the wheels because I like the stock AMG split spokes. On Sept 13 I will drive the car at Sebring road course.
