cant find it? :s only one to do with headlights i see is how to colour code them?

thats how you smoke headlights..

Smoking the whole lense is illegal

you can only "smoke" the insert

[Davyy]

Oh :s okay.. the lens darkened looks quality though, sorry for the noob error lol.

Alot of people drive round with out a front number plate (or a plate in the wrong place like on the dash), and completely black rear lights

just 'coz "You" get away with it, doesnt mean everyone will.. and its not worth the risk..

You mean like that?

[Davyy]

Nope, cos they still look clear.. ill try and find the ones

[Davyy]

Oh okay, i was wrong.. the pic looked as if the lens was darkened but after looking more carefully you guys are right, its the backing bit which is darkened - cheers though

[Rudpud]

Follow that guide but use black and youll get the look you want :y:
