sorry but its not my taste.. I say you stick with the oem ones.. smoked just looks too riced out.. thats why domestics make fun of us

Most people mod the lights themselves. They usually either go to their local auto store or garage and ask them to do it (they usually also use a film kit). I've seen many people just use the lens spray, which would be cheaper. Here's a link for some of the spray, hope it helps.

Smoked tailamps are really cool, yes. I might smoke my black EG's taillamps, it's a pretty subtle mod, but i'm still undecided. Just be sure to not get any on your car, remove the light or tuck newspaper all around it (and in the creases).

Also, check to make sure it's legal, in some places they don't allow that.

why would u care if ppl make fun of you? its ur car.
any pics of ek with smoke taillights? i tried the search.

thats one hot hatch

You shouldn't care, really.

And no, i couldn't find any pictures (with a basic search anyways). I know i've seen one or two EK's with smoked taillamps in Madison, they looked pretty cool.

It could just not have caught on yet with EK's. I figure it beats those weird white and red aftermarket ones (the ones that looks like Skyline lights), in my personal opinion. If i find any pics, i'll post them.

And yea, that's one nice EG pic.

i blacked out my oem taillights on my coupe, but wasnt feeling it, ill give free to anyone who pays the shipping for them, hahaha

bump for pics

Too bad the taillamps go to a coupe, or else i would buy them for my hatch. That way if i didn't want them, i could just swap back my oem ones.

That would be everywhere in the United States.

Blacked out taillights on a hatch are going to look like two big black eye spots on the back of your car.

yah i guess eg hatch can pull it off but i would love to see what it looks like on ek hatches

alright, 2 things.. one, As far as I know, mostly everywhere says the tail lights may not be covered, which includes smoking them. I got pulled over twice in Madison, Wi for them.

I'll look for an EK with them, but if anything, go out, get a small can of transparent black spray paint from like a hobby horse or something and paint them. Remove the tail lights. If you dont like it, go out to the store, but an SOS pad (for cleaning) and scrub it all off. I had mine done for a while, but like i said got yanked twice, so I decided I really didnt want them any longer.

I'd rather have nice clean taillights and not have to replace them after making a mistake like that.

Not a real pic, but MS Paint.

Usually, IMO, I dig lightly smoked tails like the first EG posted in this thread. But fully blacked out? Not for me.

at least you can peel them off if you get in trouble.

I dont think it looks that bad, if its not too dark.

Your point is a lot more clear if you quote the person you want to reply to and then reply AFTER that quote.

a light smoke doesnt look half bad. i might have to try this on my red ek.

I Like the smoked out turning signal I plan on doing it but on the side note I dont know whos car this is but i found it on H-T so if the owner wants it down let me know.

Soshinoyahatch

i like the smoked signals more than the whole light.
