I agree the smoked tails do look better then the clear ones, now my question is how about the LED tails? Khoalty sells these with smoked lens and are supposed to be plug and play.

By the way Khoalty also sells the normal smoked tails for much cheaper then the ebay store.

Wow--strong replies/opinions. Thats' why I love this forum!

My responses
-agree they are a bit Altezza esque but with the right color, I think they may look very nice.
-uniqueness is a big deal here. I don't feel the gray but on a darker color, they may look sweet.
-PnP so you could do change outs every few months for a totally different look.
-MUCH cheaper than LCI, these area available on eBay for 300 or so plus S+H from Germany, another 100 bucks.

I will try to find some more photos. I like the way they look though guys....seriously....re-think this thru!!!

those look good and seem like PnP install but don't look as bright as OEM.
