smoked tail lights

[5M-GECelica]

I have an 83 and i figured that it would look pretty good if my tail lights, front and rear corner lights were all smoked. Now i know that some of you dont like this due to the fact that you cant see the lights as well if you have them smoked. But since mine is black and the tail lights are smooth and not ribbed i couldnt pass up the possibility of how good it might look. due to the weather i only have the corner lenses done for now. here are the links.

Here are the front two. they are a little broken. if anyone has any extra they dont mind giving away that wold be awesome.

[edit] I just put them on and they are just as bright as they used to be, so i will try to get the tails done sometime soon. but since im going to college in another town and i dont have a computer i wont have any new pics until next weekend.

You are openly asking for someone to donate good lights, so you can paint them black ?

You are retarded.

i already mentioned that some of you dont agree with this. up until now ive admired all of the input from you on this site. so thanks for your input CelicaXX. it doesnt matter what i do to my car. what matters is if i like it. if it turns out bad then i pay the consequenses, but always remember that everything is reversible.

[5M-GECelica]

well i just started getting dark when i was installing them, but i took pictures anyways. ill take some new ones tomorrow so that you can see them better.

And if you were wondering, you can still see all of the lights perfectly.

wow way to be harsh. Neway i cant really say much as i did this on one of my spare sets of rear sidemarkers and it made them blend nicely iwht the side of my black 82. At night the amount of light lost is minimal at best but i dint lay it on real thik either.

[5M-GECelica]

thats exactly what i did. a couple of real light coats until it starts to tur black. and i have to agree there is very minimal light lost.
