I think light output with smoked headlights is less than the stock clear headlights but it's a good excuse to get some HIDs lol. if you want dark headlights but want to keep a clear lens then take a look at the black beauty headlights.


Smoked in my sig.

yea i have hid's

If you go with the smoked headlights at least get some silverstars. I had a couple sets of smoked headlights and never had a problem with them.

As Onyx mentioned the black beauty's are very nice as well. Or the black housing cobra headlights like I've got. They give you a little better light output but tie in a little black as well.

black on black is boring. Get em painted a metallic gunmetal finish. Something with a flake and a nice shine to it.

put in my order at am today for headlights and i should be getting my rims, front brakes and stereo done later this week. ill put in a good detail once im done and pst up pics.
ARdollar i have the grey rims right now and im looking for a change, i really dig the all black look. if i dont like it i can always have them redone, the rim guy at the shop i work for is doing them

I understand what you're saying, but a metallic darker finish like gunmetal will be a completely different look from the current dull anthracite finish that they are now.

which headlights did u order from am??? u should get the black headlights that are only 150$ The housing is pretty clear but it has black on the inside to give it the smoked look. Looks very sleek, alot better than stock at a cheap price. but if you buy these you should deffinitly get the luminics bulbs that are much brighter there kinda like HIDs but not quite as bright...
