Smoking my taillights this weekend, getting everyone's insights, going to go with a 50% on the back and maybe a 70% on the front nothing too drastic. Also upgrading the bulbs and installing the HID kit as well. Will be posting pics as the car moves along....

In for pics of the tinted headlights. If it looks good it would be a good alternative to opening the headlights to be painted. Our headlights are supposed to be a pain to get open. I'm sure it wouldn't be worth it though since light output will be effected.

I personally do not like them but it also depends on the color of your car. Below is a link to Synergy's build thread...I think it looks good on his color.

I like the way his came out, they are a little dark looks about a 30% on the back mines will be lighter then that, just enough to add shade to it
Will post pics...

I agree with Nat,smoked tail lights depend on the color of your car. If your is red,white or gray,I think it would be a good look. But don't smoke the whole thing,just the top 50% and leave the lower 50%red. I installed 12-K HID's on my 95sc4 it looks nice..like a deep blue, however the whiter the brighter. I bought a set off eBay for $40 with directions and hardware. 15min tops on the install
