Smoked LED head & tail lights Options

[Jokester]

So I'm planning to smoke out all of my lights (heads, tails, side indicators, front turn signals) and I have a couple of questions. And I'm planning on using the tint film instead of the paint cause I'm scared I might effed it up if I use paint. So...

1. Does a smoked headlights look good on a 6g celi? Cause I've seen many with smoked tails, but not with the heads. If anyone has a pic of their celi with smoked heads, it would be great if you could post it.

2. Switch to LED/SMD bulbs?? At first I thought this would be an obvious choice because with the lights being smoked, the bulbs need to be brighter to be seen thru the smoked layer. But after reading several forums, there are many controversies with using LEDs for tail light. I was just wondering what are your guys opinion on this? If I do get LEDs, I will get colored LEDs (red for stop/parking light, yellow for turning, white for reverse). So hopefully that would help with the brightness?

Btw, I'm planning on using these LED bulbs if I do get them.

Blacked out headlights are a BIG no no in CA, tails are allowed to a certain degree, but it must be pretty light.I just attempted this with LEDs...The bulbs in the taillights are dual filament, IE one for running and one for brakes. Normal LEDs will only give you brake lights. Same with front blinkers and running lights, so youll need to figure something out.


Where are you in CA?
