Smoke the bottom portion and leave the clear as is. Looks so much better with the clear and smoked red portion. Mine are painted and the lights are exactly how dark I wanted them. From a distance they appear pretty dark, but the closer you get they look deep red. So it doesn't look too dark and cheap. The clear gives it a nice contrast and matches the alpine white.
i did mine after looking at tex_phil's. i really liked the way his look.

here is a picture of my aw with smoked tails

Medium tint. Too light is barely noticable. Too dark looks like it's a body panel.

I think I like just the clear section tinted. I think I must be the only one though
