ok, title says it all. i know theres a member with smoked head lights. either overlays or done with the spray to the headlight (NOT opened and sprayed from the inside). i THINK it was a black coupe and i THINK it was from California but i'm not sure. i just remember seeing a thread a long time ago with someone posting a pic of a white coupe and asking whos it was and the OP had smoked headlights. this thread was from like a year ago.

i'm thinking about 3 different things.

1) eyelids

2) baking the light and painting the inside

3) smoking it with the spray from the outside.

trying to see which looks best.

painting the inside and that huge orange piece will look the cleanest.

thats what i thought but to be honest, the coupe with the overlays or spray on their headlight looks beautiful! after seeing that coupe, it made me look at the orange piece completely different. with the overlay or spray, it made the orange piece a little smoked as well and it made it look like a really nice set of smoked lights from the factory.. it had a OEM look to it. if i open the light and paint the inside black, i think i might just go with the smoke spray for the orange piece.

I painted my lights, but I made them (head lights) as dark as possible. I think you're looking for more of a lighter shade than mine
