It looks different, but you gotta think about safety while driving at night too.
I remember you telling me that your headlights don't really light up the road enough.

I don't "mind" the looks, but I would be concerned over safety issues. I would un-smoke them IMO.

I'd be concerned about driving safety as well, but I do like the look. It's a toss up for me. Is it even possible to unsmoke them without damaging the lenses?
