Smoked out tail lights/reflectors???

Hello,

I recently bought some covers (turned out to be just tint strips) to black out my tail lights and side reflectors. The problem is they are just strips of tint and after seeing them I now want to see if I can find "already blacked out" reflectors and tail lights for more of that OEM look.

I have seen a few cars here with their lights blacked out. Can anyone point me to where I might find/buy some?

I appreciate the help,
JBravoMC

Found my smoke front and rear "arch lights" on ebay.

I am doing red tail lights (I am CR) and the material needs to be heated and streached.
I saw some red, smoke, and even a green done this way.

I'll let you know how it works out. The film only cost $20

bpago,

Thanks for the info and for not blasting me on this subject. I just realized I should have ran a search first as there are many posts on this same subject.

I swear I am not a forum newbie. :impatient

Thanks again for the info and let us know how the tail light film works out. (With pics. )
