go to a model car store and buy some transparent black spray paint (used for tinting windows on model cars). remove your lights (or mask them off) and apply light coats until you have the desired smoked effect.

PICS (did this on my skyline. you dont have to go this dark. i used 5 or 6 coats)

Cool - thanks for the tip. I will check into the paint.

Ryhi has Admiration covers that stick on - they are very cool. They look sort of like Mercedes lights - changes from smooth to ribbed

True UCF10 stuff must be even harder to find - pity since UCF10/20/21 are my favorite versus 430's.

to be completely honest ryhi i liked the old DHs alot more, these new ones have a rounded curve along the openings that i just dont like at all. looks like a stitch wheel or something but thats just imo. still the hottest on the block.
