I managed to smoke my own lights. (Use SEARCH BUTTON if you would like to also indulge yourself in CodeRed's awsome tutorial.)

What do you think?

One slight thing that I didn't like was that they came out a little cloudy like actualy smoke color (Gray)BUTIt actually looks aight outside and stuff. Any ideas on how to make it nicer or is this basically what I'm going to look at everytime even if I try to modify it again?

Looks like you need a better camera, and also a buffer.

Take the buffer and put a whole bunch of rubbing compound on your lights and work a section at a time this will really polish them up nicely. Also a nice coat of polish never hurts.

Never been a big fan of smoked tail lights myself but I think you should smoke the center top bake light to make it match. Love you wheels tho. Can you tell me what brand and size wheels and tires those are.

no, try getting the white rubbing compound it is finer, as for the polish any kind will work.

LOLYou aren't the first to say that lolI might actually go ahead and do that light as well.As for the wheels and tires, I have 17" MR rims (the "Drifter" model) on Hankook Ventus K104 215/40ZR18

I think it is the camera making his lights look a little rough? His paint looks like that too in the pictures. Good job!
