SMOKE LIGHTS ON E63...help!

I HAVE A 2007 E63, ITS BLACK, ALONG WITH MY GRILL. I AM INSTALLING:
-CARBON DIFFUSER
- CARBON FRONT LIP
-CARBON ROOF SPOILER

AND I WAS WONDERING SHOULD I SMOKE OUT MY LIGHTS?

IF SO.. SHOULD I SMOKE THE WHOLE TAIL-LIGHT, OR JUST THE RED, OR JUST THE WHITE?

I prefer the "smoking the red" part. Not blacking it out, but lightly smoking it.

We just got our E55 tail lights tinted, just the red with white parts cut out.

I'd recommend doing that, it looks sick!

I say lightly smoking because I feel the whole "murdered out" style is kinda played out...and I really dont like the black tail + black car look.

I AGREE WITH THE OTHERS. SMOKE THE RED AND LEAVE THE CLEAR.

There are two types (I think). Black and a darker shade of red.

Not too light, and not too dark.

Smoke them dark enough that the red is not showing, Leave the clear part. If you don't smoke it enough it looks brown.

E63
First off where are you getting a diffuser for the 07 E63?

Anyways, I bought mine just about a month ago and it has the white portion smoked. It actually goes pretty well with the dark red portions. Does anyone know if this was stock b/c nothing else is aftermarket on the car.

I think the normal facelift ones are the better ones, personally i like the red with the lightly smoked white on these

guys, on a side note anyone bought the smoked 3rd brakelight as per the ones on ebay?

are you going to get them painted with black/clear mixed or are you trying to do this with a tint film?
I am going to get mine done leaving the clear parts clear but stuck on painting them or just putting a tint film on them.
