    I did this really fast--I couldn't find a good angle of the actual smoked elips, so I made my own. Hope it gives you a rough idea.

      Thanks, but now I'm leaning towards clear smilies.

      Another pic that might be easier to use.

            The amount of tint on the smoked ones is way off.... I reckon its a lot darker than that.

                  If I were you, with your car, I'd go with the smoked elipsoids. They'd look dumb on my car, which is mostly stock, but it'd look bad-ass with your black and red theme. Here's an M3 cabrio with smoked elips; it looks fuck'n bad ass:

                          I'm going with smoked if I find a nice set, I want the real ones
                          not the cross hair kitted ones.

                            the real ones are cross hairs. atleast in the high beams. You can buy the cross hairs for cheap, and put them in your high beams. All you have to do for the lows is paint the chrome around the ellipsoid and smiley. just boil your lights open and use some silicone to reseal.
