Default Smoke out sidemarkers, tailights, & rear blinkers

I have the silverstone color.

I want to buy some overlays to achieve a darker look.

Does anyone know where i can get them at. I want them just smoked to match similar to my window tint which is like 22%, not have trouble with cops, and still visible at night/day.

I'm going to leave the headlights alone.

I think it will look good especailly with dark gunmetal or black staggered wheel setup.

Adding overlays can get you trouble with the cops.

I have a silverstone with black rims. I wanted to black everything out too, but I quickly found out that puts you on the same astehtic mod level as most kia sentras. I ended up only blacking out my reflectors only with paint. It looks sick like that with the black rims and goes well with the tints. I like the red tails though, gives it nice contrast

I have overlays on my Z's tail lights and have had them on for 5 years now. Never been pulled over because of them. I did have one cop messing with me saying he could write me up for them. I told him, that I can pull them off right now if he wanted me too. So he just left me alone.

What do you think of these for headlights?

And these for the tails/sidemarkers/rear blinklers?

I would be careful with the headlights. You are more prone to be pulled over because of smoked headlights than you would tail lights. And I don't like to give them any reason to pull me over. Just my opinion. And as long as you can see the blinkers and brakes, you will probably be ok.

I just bought a big roll of 50% tint for $15 shipped. I am going to cut out for the taillights, and do my reverse/side markers as well. I didn't want the all black 100% tint for the lights, that is a little ricer and attracts cops imo.
