I have the smoked tail lights on my Flint Mica and everything blends in well. With silver or lighter colored RX's, I'm iffy on it... but as long as you dig it, that's all that matters.

I have no interest in decreasing the efficacy of my headlights, nor in decreasing the visibility of my brake lights.
So I vote no.

I agree it would look good on a dark colored vehicle and make sure it is street legal. The RX from a fellow CL member looks good though the tail lights are smoked too dark IMHO
