    To Smoke or Not to Smoke.

    Having mixed feelings about smoking my high beams.
    wat do u guys think? Should i smoke them or Leave them as it is.
    the kidneys will not be blacked out either way.

    I say smoked. If you got smoked, keep the kidney chrome. The smoked lens in the first pic looks awesome but is offset by the awkwardness of the non-smoked.

      I say clear. Great looking car, but IMO, lighter colored bodies need clear lenses.

      Plus, the whole smoked thing is getting played.

      ALL E30's need chrome kidneys.

          i vote leave the way it is

          i was actually secretly jealous about your headlight setup and contemplated copying it. So.... on the other thought, yes please change it, so i'd be the only one with your current setup ;)

                  That is a horrible picture of his car. It actually looks super nice in person. I think all smoked/black looks mean as hell (I don't have center headlights..but I do have black fillers) ..

                        the lights don't usually look that dark, it was mostly because the sun was setting. I could never go back to clear lights..
