Looks really good!
Did you buy the lens already smoked? Or did you do them yourself using a spray? I was looking into that Nite-Shade spray used to smoke tail lights but not sure how it will come out.

I sprayed them using Krylon Fusion for plastic spray in satin black. After I sprayed them and put them back on they looked a little "dry" (not sure how else to describe it. So I rub them down with goo-gone and it made the black seem deeper. I was only using goo-gone bc my fingers had paint on them and got on the front of the lens. I sprayed the inside of the housing only.

Silly question: I like the blacked out look but that makes them really dim at night....right?

Ya ...your right, not too bad. Going the LED route myself, just haven't made up my mind whether to use smoked lenses or not

if I went LED bulbs it would be really bright at night, just not in day light
