    Smoked VS Clear Turns

    What should I go with to replace my horrible "home made" smoked front turns.

    So, Smoked or Clears?

    get rid of those horrible wanna be xenons in your highbeams... then get some smoked lenses...

    I'm rather fond of your "horrible 'home made' smoked front turns"...

    Just smoke your headlights... Your car will look "do-able"...

    Put the housings in the oven at about 250 for a little while, pop the lenses off, spray paint, and your set.

    i think theres a how to guide somewhere around here.

      what's wrong with your homemade ones?

      in any case smoked for sure, I don't like the clears on any car, they stick out like sore thumbs when contrasted on the black bumper trim (unless it's a light car with painted trim, then maybe). when my lights are off my laminx'd turnsignals look completely black, you can barely see them at all...

        I hate clears. Smoked signals look much cleaner.
        The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

          the ones I have now are no longer visable during the day and barely visable at night. Yeah when im not turning they are fine but if someone actually needs to see my signals they can't.

              function always follows form...

                yeah now in daylight and turned off they "look" good but they dont really serve any function anymore, thats why I need replacements.

                  go with MHW smoked, they are cheap and not too dark.
