    Smoked and non-smoled Euro Ellips

    Has anyone ever put smoked euro ellips on the inside and clear ones on the outside? I just got that idea bouncing around in my head, wondering what it would look like.

    IMHO it would not look right.

      that could be cool. I hardly ever use hi-beams, if I were to do that, I would just get those smoked lamin-x and put it on the hi-beams. I wouldn't really care if the light output is worse on the hi's.

        I don't think it would look that good at all. Maybe you should try using lamin-x to see what it would look like. Then if you like it, I have some smoked ellipsoids for sale. :D

            The regular ellips lows look much darker than the highs. It's a cool look, but it's nothing I'd want to change.
            The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

              It looks alright...something different. I knew a guy who had smoked ellipsoids and removed the baffles from either the lows or highs, don't remember which.

                most likely highs, you cant really remove the baffles in the lows because its part of the ellips, the only difference is in the normal ones its white and in these its black.
