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. ![]() Or these ![]() |

Yea. So I used tint film to smoke the tail light, the front parking/turning lights, and the front side markers.
For the tails, I used a mixture of LED and the stock bulbs. I have a coupe, so the tail housing is different from a hatchback. In each housing, theres the bulbs for the reverse, the turn signals, and 2 bulbs for the stop light. So for one of the bulb for the stop light, I replaced that with the red LED. So comparing that to the stock stop light halogen, the brightness is the same, but the LED light up quicker. As for the brightness if the rest of the lights, i don't see a difference. Same bightness as without the tint. However, the front turning lights is dimmer than it was before. I'll post up pics soon. |
