I'm new to the forum so forgive me if this topic has been covered a million times. I hate the chrome and amber in the headlights. I just recently smoked my heads and tails with Headlight Armor trying to cover it up. I'm not happy with how it looks. The material is too thick so the edges really stand out. Not to mention, the tails don't cover the entire light. (Would not recommend Headlight Armor). Anyways, I've decided I want to smoke my tails, but want it done professionally. I live in Pensacola, FL. Does anyone know of a good shop? The headlights I can deal with as long as I can get rid of the amber and hopefully the chrome too. What do you guys think? Thanks

As for the smoked tails...many shops will not be able to do it because of that little vertical bump on the tail light. (at least around where I live)
Many people on this forum get their tails painted with a very light coat of paint to darken them.
