Default PIC REQUEST! Crystal white/DWP with smoked LED tails?

Hey all. Going to be getting a respray soon and since there are a ton of black GSs around my area i'm gonna go with some form of the whitest white i can find (either Lex crystal/diamond white or mazda crystal white) and leave the roof panel black. But, since I'm doing the whole black and white thing, I'm wondering how the smoked LED tails will look on the white. I've seen the red/clears before but the red/smoked i dont know for sure have ever been done on white.

If anyone's got it or wants to get a quick photoshop please post up.

Yes it has been done, check this thread.

Personally, since you will repaint it, I recommend that you paint it a 'white' instead of a crystal and pearl white. I am not a fan of smoked tails on a crystal/pearl white, it just does not go together so it looks tacky. But you can judge it for yourself, good luck! The new color will look better, but I'm partial .

Oh ma bad, I didn't read the led part. I still don't think the smoked leds would look good either, but I haven't seen that combo. I've seen them on a black gs and they look good.

why not have someone do a photoshop? It wont be exact but it can be a really good way to tell if something will look good or not.
